QuestionFind the density of a liquid weighing in a tank measuring in .
Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The dimensions of the tank are
. The weight of the liquid is
3. We need to find the density of the liquid in
4. The tank is completely filled with the liquid
STEP 2
First, we need to find the volume of the tank, which is also the volume of the liquid since the tank is completely filled. The volume of a rectangular tank can be found by multiplying its length, width, and height.
STEP 3
Now, plug in the given values for the length, width, and height to calculate the volume.
STEP 4
Calculate the volume of the tank.
STEP 5
Since we need the density in , we need to convert the volume from to . We know that .
STEP 6
Calculate the volume in liters.
STEP 7
Now we need to find the mass of the liquid. Since the weight is given in grams, we need to convert it to kilograms as we need the density in . We know that .
STEP 8
Calculate the mass in kilograms.
STEP 9
Now that we have the mass in kilograms and the volume in liters, we can find the density of the liquid. Density is defined as mass per unit volume.
STEP 10
Plug in the values for the mass and the volume to calculate the density.
STEP 11
Calculate the density of the liquid.
The density of the liquid is .
