Question

The tank is 51m long and 20m wide.The sea water in the tank is 11m deep and has a density of 1030 kilograms per cubic meters.
Calculate the mass of water in the tank.

Answer 1

Answer: 1.2 x 10^7kg

Explanation:

Volume of tank = length x width x height

Volume = 51 x 20 x 11

Volume = 11220 m^3

Density = Mass/Volume

Density = 1030 kg/m^3

Volume = 11220 m^3

Mass = m

1030 = m/11220

m = 1030 x 11220

m = 11,556,600 kg or 1.2 x 10^7kg
