Astroturf is a durable artificial surface used to cover athletic fields. a soccer field 0.06214- mile-long by 253 ft wide is covered with a ½ inch layer of astroturf. the density of the astroturf is 187 oz/ft3. calculate the weight of the astroturf in newtons (n)

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.

Explanation:

Length of a soccer field = 0.06214 mile = 328.0992 feet

(1 mile = 5280 feet)

Breadth of a soccer field  = 253 feet

Length of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered, l = 328.0992 feet

Breadth of a Astroturf which soccer field is to be covered ,b = 253 feet

Thickness of a Astroturf with which soccer field is to be covered = h

h = ½ inch = 0.5 inch = 0.041665 feet

(1 inches = 0.08333 feet)

Volume of the Astroturf ,V= l × b × h

Mass of the Astroturf = m

Density of the Astroturf = d = 187

1 oz = 0.0283495 kg

Weight of the Astroturf = W

W = mg

The weight of the Astroturf is 179,684.31 Newtons.
