The densities of several materials are given in si units. convert these to densities in u. s. customary units (slug/ft3), and also compute the specific weights of these materials in u. s. customary units (lb/ft3).the density of ceramic (alumina al2o3), rho = 3.9 mg/cm3.

a) Density of Lead = 22.0029 slug/ft3

b) Density of Ceramic Alumina = 7567163.99 slug/ft3

c) Density of polyethylene = 1.8626slug/ft3

d) Density of Balsa wood = 0.388slug/ft3

Explanation:

The question is incomplete as other information's are missing, here is the complete question ;

The densities of several materials are given in SI units . Convert these to densities in U.S . Customary units (slug/ft3), and also compute the specific weights of these materials in U.S . Customary units (lb/ft3). (a) Lead (pure), p = 11.34g/cm3. (b) Ceramic (alumina Al2O3), p = 3.90 Mg/cm3. (c) Polyethylene (high density), p = 960 kg/m3. (d) Balsa wood, p = 0.2 Mg/m3.

The specific weight is the weight per unit volume, i.e W = mg

but mass = density x volume

W = rho x v x g = (rho)vg

W/v = rho x g

where W/v = is the specific weight and g = is the acceleration due to gravity depending on the units, but in this case as told, g is in the US Customary units (lb/slug) which is 32.2 from conversion factor, and since we are told to calculate the specific weight of each in lb/ft3.

All you have to do is to multiply each density by the acceleration due to gravity and

repeat the same step for each of the materials.
