Excavator

The excavator bucket capacity is 0.5 m³. Determine the mass of sand that the excavator picks up. The sand density is 1700 kg/m³.

Correct answer:

m =  850 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} \rho =1700{\text{kg/m}}^3 \\ V=0.5{\text{m}}^3 \\ m=\rho \cdot V=1700\cdot 0.5=850\text{ kg} \end{gathered}$$
