If a barrel of oil weighs 1.5 kn, calculate the specific weight, density, and specific gravity of the oil. the barrel weighs 110 n.

To solve this problem we will apply the theoretical concepts and definitions given for the specific weight, density and specific gravity. Consider also that a barrel contains 159 liters or

Consider the net weight of the oil which would be

The specific weight is defined as the proportion of weight by volume thereof, therefore

Through the information given we could find mass and density through the following relations:

Mass

Density

Specific gravity,

a lot of it means it can be "burned" for energy and sold at one price. if it is scarce, the price will go up
