Answer
given,
oil barrel weight = 1.5 k N = 1500 N
weight of the barrel = 110 N
Assuming volume of barrel = 0.159 m³
weight of oil = 1500-110
= 1390 N
[tex]specific\ weight = \dfrac{weight}{volume}[/tex]
[tex]specific\ weight = \dfrac{1390}{0.159}[/tex]
= 8742.14 N/m³
[tex]mass = \dfrac{weight}{g}[/tex]
[tex]mass = \dfrac{1390}{9.8}[/tex]
= 141.84 kg
[tex]density = \dfrac{mass}{volume}[/tex]
[tex]density = \dfrac{141.84}{0.159}[/tex]
= 892.05 kg/m³
[tex]Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{density\ of\ oil}{density\ of\ water}[/tex]
[tex]Specific\ gravity = \dfrac{892.05}{1000}[/tex]
= 0.892
