One drop of water has a mass of one gram. Determine the mass of 625 drops of water in slugs.

1 answer

To determine the mass of 625 drops of water in slugs, we first need to convert the mass from grams to slugs.

1 slug is equal to 32.17405 pounds.

Given that one drop of water has a mass of one gram, we can calculate the mass of 625 drops of water in grams:

Mass of 625 drops of water = 625 grams

Next, we need to convert from grams to pounds:
1 pound is equal to 453.59237 grams.

Therefore, the mass of 625 drops of water in pounds is:
Mass in pounds = 625 grams / 453.59237 grams/pound = 1.378759 pounds

Finally, we convert the mass in pounds to slugs:
1 slug = 32.17405 pounds

Mass in slugs = mass in pounds / 32.17405 pounds/slug

Mass in slugs = 1.378759 pounds / 32.17405 pounds/slug ≈ 0.0429 slugs

Therefore, the mass of 625 drops of water is approximately 0.0429 slugs.
