A scuba tank, when fully submerged, displaces 16.7 L of seawater. The tank itself has a mass of 13.4 kg and, when "full," contains 4.47 kg of air. Find the total mass of the tank?

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]m = 17.87 kg[/tex]

Explanation:

As we know that tank itself has mass given as 13.4 kg

so it is given as

[tex]m_1 = 13.4 kg[/tex]

also the tank contains air in it and the mass of air inside the tank is also given as 4.47 kg

so it is

[tex]m_2 = 4.47 kg[/tex]

so total mass of the tank is the mass of the empty tank and mass of air in the tank

[tex]m = m_1 + m_2[/tex]

[tex]m = 13.4 + 4.47[/tex]

[tex]m = 17.87 kg[/tex]
