Q. A sheet of glass has a density of 2.5gcm3\frac{2.5\,\text{g}}{\text{cm}^3}.\newlineWhat is the density of the glass in kgm3\frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m}^3}?\newline\squarekgm3\frac{\text{kg}}{\text{m}^3}
  1. Conversion Factors: To convert the density from grams per cubic centimeter to kilograms per cubic meter, we need to know the conversion factors between these units. We know that 11 kilogram is equal to 10001000 grams, and 11 meter is equal to 100100 centimeters. Therefore, 11 cubic meter is equal to 1003100^3 cubic centimeters.
  2. Setup Conversion: Using the conversion factors, we can set up the conversion as follows:\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = Density in g/cm3\text{g/cm}^3 * 1000g/kg1000 \, \text{g/kg} * 100cm/m100 \, \text{cm/m}^33
  3. Plug in Density: Now we plug in the given density of the glass:\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = 2.5g/cm32.5 \, \text{g/cm}^3 * 1000g/kg1000 \, \text{g/kg} * 100cm/m100 \, \text{cm/m}^33
  4. Simplify Equation: We simplify the equation by canceling out the units and calculating the result:\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = 2.5×1000×10032.5 \times 1000 \times 100^3 kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3
  5. Perform Calculation: Perform the calculation:\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = 2.5×1000×10000002.5 \times 1000 \times 1000000 kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = 2500×10000002500 \times 1000000 kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3\newlineDensity in kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3 = 25000000002500000000 kg/m3\text{kg/m}^3\newlineThis is incorrect because the exponent was not applied correctly to the conversion factor (100 cm/m)3(100 \text{ cm/m})^3. It should be 2.5×1000×10000002.5 \times 1000 \times 100000000, not 2.5×1000×10000002.5 \times 1000 \times 100000011.
