Homework Statement
A 1m^3 container is filled with the following
-).12 m^3 of Diamonds
-).15 m^3 of sand
-).2 m^3 of petroleum at 20 deg Celcius
-).53 m^3 of air 2 20 deg celcius and 1 atm pressure
Find overall specific volume and density of container
Homework Equations
density (p)= mass/ unit volume
specific volume= volume/unit mass or 1/density
The Attempt at a Solution
Do I need to look up the density for sand, diamonds, petroleum, and air for given conditions and find specific volume from there for each individual substance then add up all the specific volumes? Nothing is mentioned about the mass of each substance they just give volume so I don't know if I need to somehow find the mass of each substance
