A partly-filled propane tank is positioned on a weigh scale that indicates its initial mass is 10 kg. The tank is then connected to a supply line through which propane flows into the tank at 10 grams/second. What will be the mass of the tank and its contents if it filled at this rate for 15 minutes?
Here the initial mass of tank and contents =10kg
Now its filled with a rate of 10 grams/second.
15 minutes = 15*60 = 900 seconds
So In 15 minute newly added Propane = Fill rate * seconds in 15 minutes
= 10 * 900
= 9000 grams
= 9 kg ( because 1 kg = 1000 grams )
So after 15 minute mass of tank and content = Initial mass + Mass of fillled in 15 minutes
= 10 + 9
= 19 kg. <<<<<<<<< ANSWER
