5.9 Exercise 57

Avg difficulty 2.5

(a) Using data from Potential Energy of a System, find the mass destroyed when the energy in a barrel of crude oil is released. (b) Given these barrels contain 200 liters and assuming the density of crude oil is 750kg/m3,750 \text{kg}/\text{m}^{3} , what is the ratio of mass destroyed to original mass, Δm/m?\Delta m / m ?
