Question: (a) Assuming that water has a density of exactly 1 gm/cm3, find the mass of one cubic meter of water in kilograms. (b) Suppose that it takes 10.0 h to drain a container of 5700 m3of water. What is the 鈥渕ass flow rate,鈥 in kilograms per second, of water from the container?

Short Answer

Answer

  1. The mass of one cubic meter of water is 1000 kg .
  2. The mass flow rate is 158 kg/s .

Step by step solution

01

Given data

The density of water, =1g/cm3

The time to drain a container, t = 10,0 h

The volume of water,v=5700m3

02

Understanding the density of material and mass flow rate 

The density of a material (in this case water) is given by mass per unit volume. The mass flow rate is defined as the mass of a fluid (water) passing through a point per unit of time.

The expression for density is given as:

=mv 鈥 (i)

Here, is the density, m is the mass and v is the volume.

The expression for the mass flow rate is given as:

m=mt 鈥 (ii)

Here, m is the mass flow rate and t is the time

03

(a) Determination of the mass of cubic meter of water

First, you have to convert the density of water fromgm/cm3intokg/m3

1gmcm3=1000kgm3

Using equation (i), the mass of the water is calculated as:

m=v=1000kg/m31m3=1000kg

Thus, the mass of one cubic meter of water is 1000 kg .

04

(b) Determination of the total mass of water

Using equation (i), the total mass of water to be drained is calculated as:

M=V=1000Kgm35700m3=5700103kg

Now, to find the mass flow rate in kilogram per second, convert time (10.0 h) to seconds.

t=10h3600s1h=36000s

Using equation (ii), the mass flow rate is calculated as:

m=mt=5700103kg36000s=158.33kg/s158kg/s

Thus, the mass flow rate is 158 kg/s .

You are to fix dinners for 400 people at a convention of Mexican food fans. Your recipe calls for 2 jalape帽o peppers per serving (one serving per person). However, you have only habanero peppers on hand. The spiciness of peppers is measured in terms of the scoville heat unit (SHU). On average, one jalape帽o pepper has a spiciness of 4000 SHU and one habanero pepper has a spiciness of 300000 SHU. To get the desired spiciness, how many habanero peppers should you substitute for the jalape帽o peppers in the recipe for the 400 dinners?
