2 Fig. 2.1 shows a boy moving a water container in a wheelbarrow. For
Examiner’s
Use
water container
Fig. 2.1
The container has a volume of 0.15 m3 and is filled with water of density 1000 kg / m3.
(a) Calculate the mass of water in the container when it is full.
mass = .................................................. [2]
(b) It is harder to stop the wheelbarrow when the container is full than when it is empty.
Explain this.
