Answer
a. To convert the density of cement from
to
, we use the following conversion factors:1 kg = 1000 g 1 m
= 1000000 cm
Given that the density of cement is 3150 kg/m
, we can convert it as follows:
b. The mass of a block of cement can be expressed as a linear function of its volume using the formula:
Given that the density of cement is 3150 kg/m
, the equation for the mass
(in kg) as a function of the volume
(in m
) is:
Thus, the linear equation is:
