AI Thread Summary
During a thunderstorm, 0.9 inches of rain falls on one acre of land, leading to a total volume of 92.5111378 m³ of water. To find the mass in kilograms, the density of water, which is 1000 kg/m³, is used in the equation m = ρV. Substituting the known values, the mass of the water can be calculated as 1000 kg. The discussion emphasizes the importance of correctly applying the density formula to determine mass from volume. The final answer confirms that the mass of water from the rainfall is indeed 1000 kg.

RAIN FALL QUESTIONS---CAN'T FIND PART 4 about kg!

Homework Statement



During a thunderstorm, a total of 0.9 inches of rain falls. How much water falls on one acre of land? (1 mi2 = 640 acres) Express your answer in the following ways.

I found ft^3, m^3, and in^3, but I'm stumped on part 4...where it asks for kg??

Homework Equations



I found 564376 in^3, 3267 ft^3, and 92.5111378 m^3 and I know these 3 parts are 100 percent correct?
JUST NEED HELP WITH PART 4 ON HOW TO FIND kg!
Thanks in advance guys!

A relevant equation you will need is density, ρ=m/V.

What is the density of water ?
 


SORRY!

NOTE: Density of 1000kg/m^3!

Thanks. sorry again

Well then, if you have the formula ρ=m/V, you know 'ρ' and you know 'V', you want to find 'm', rearrange the formula and make 'm' the subject.
 


i still don't get it? i know my mass is x, what is the density in this problem? Would i take the 1000kg/92.5111378 m^3? and then my volume is 92.5111378 m^3...so I would get m=dv...so d=10.8095 and then v is 92.5111378 m^3, d times v equals 1000?

m=ρV.

You told me density ρ=1000kg/m3

And the volume V=92.5111378m3?

Just substitute into the formula.
 


SO the answer is 1000kg after doing the math out?
