A commonly used unit of mass in the English system is the pound-mass, abbreviated lbm, where $1 \mathrm{lbm}=0.454$ kg. What is the density of water in pound-mass per cubic foot?

Express the density of water in the English units of pounds per cubic foot.
The kilogram was defined to be the mass of pure water contained in a cube one decimeter on a side, and that this volume measure is called a liter. For this problem, compute the volume and mass measurements corresponding to a cube one meter on each side.

How big is a ton? That is, what is the volume of something that weighs a ton? To be specific, estimate the diameter of a 1-ton rock, but first make a wild guess. will it be 1 ft across. 3 ftr, or the size of a car? [Hint. Rock has mass per volume about 3 times that of water, which is 1 $\mathrm{kg}$ per liter $\left(10^{3} \mathrm{cm}^{3}\right)$ or 62 $\mathrm{lb}$ per cubic foot.
