Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If a river deposits 500 kg of sediment per cubic meter of water, how much sediment is deposited when 1000 m³ of water flows? (2021)
  • Step 1: Identify the amount of sediment deposited per cubic meter of water, which is 500 kg/m³.
  • Step 2: Identify the total volume of water flowing, which is 1000 m³.
  • Step 3: Multiply the amount of sediment per cubic meter by the total volume of water: 500 kg/m³ × 1000 m³.
  • Step 4: Calculate the result: 500 kg/m³ × 1000 m³ = 500,000 kg.
  • Step 5: Conclude that the total amount of sediment deposited is 500,000 kg.
  • Unit Conversion – Understanding how to multiply quantities with different units (kg/m³ and m³) to find total mass.
  • Volume and Density Relationship – Applying the relationship between volume, density, and mass to calculate total sediment deposited.
