The formula to calculate gasoline density is:
\[ d = \frac{M}{V} \]
Where:
Let's say the mass (\( M \)) of gasoline is 50 lbs and the volume (\( V \)) is 10 gallons. Using the formula:
\[ d = \frac{50}{10} \]
We get:
\[ d = 5 \text{ lbs/gallon} \]
So, the gasoline density (\( d \)) is 5 lbs/gallon.
Gasoline density refers to the mass per unit volume of gasoline. It can vary between 715 and 780 kg/m³ depending on the exact chemical proportions of the gasoline. This measurement is crucial for various applications, including fuel efficiency calculations and engine performance assessments.
