A certain delicious beverage is sold in cans that state they contain 355 mL of the beverage. The mass of the full can of beverage is 0.401 kg, but an empty can weighs 0.152 N.

For the beverage only, what is the specific gravity, specific weight and density of the beverage in the can?

Solution

mass of empty can = weight divided by gravitational constant

m=W/g

m= 0.152/9.81=15.49 gm

mass of full can= mass of empty can + mass of liquid beverage

401 gm= 15.49gm + mass of beverage

mass of beverage= 401-15.49=385.51gm

density = mass / volume =

volume of beverage =0.000355 m³

mass of beverage = 0.38551kg

density= mass/volume=0.3855/0.000355=1085 m³/kg

specic gravity= density of beverage/ density of water=1085/1000=1.085

specific weight = weigth/ volume= 0.3855*9.81/0.000355=

10639.01N/m³
