The Attempt at a Solution


ok so its a cube therefore its six sides.
do you use the lateral?

ahh i am so lost...
i am sorry the profesor gave us notes, but they are not related to this...
he gave like d/v.
but i am lost... =/

can you please guide me to the answer! pleasee

One piece of information you need to know to solve this problem is the density of water, which will turn your weight into a measurement of volume (you can look this up easily).

Then you know that there is a cube holding a known volume of water. So.. what's the formula for the volume of a cube?

Firstly, it is important to note that the given information does not provide enough data to calculate the dimensions of the tank in meters. We would need to know the density of water and the dimensions of the tank in order to solve for the dimensions in meters.

However, we can make some assumptions and use the given information to provide an estimate. We know that the tank is cubic, so all sides are equal in length. Let's assume that the density of water is 1 kg/L, which means that 1,000.0 kg of water would occupy 1 m^3 of volume. This would mean that each side of the tank is approximately 1 meter in length.

Again, this is just an estimate and the actual dimensions would depend on the density of water and the actual volume of the tank. It is important to have all the necessary information in order to accurately solve for the dimensions.
 

Related to What are the dimensiosn of tank in meters

1. What is the standard unit of measurement for tanks?

The standard unit of measurement for tanks is meters. This is because meters are commonly used in the scientific community for measuring length, and tanks are typically measured in terms of length, width, and height.

2. How are the dimensions of a tank typically measured?

The dimensions of a tank are usually measured in meters by using a measuring tape or ruler. The length, width, and height of the tank are measured separately and then combined to determine the total volume of the tank.

3. Why are the dimensions of a tank important to know?

The dimensions of a tank are important to know because they determine the storage capacity of the tank. This is crucial for industries that rely on tanks for storing liquids or gases, as well as for transportation and construction purposes.

4. Are there any standard dimensions for tanks?

There are no standard dimensions for tanks as they can vary greatly depending on their purpose and design. However, there are common sizes for tanks used in industries such as oil and gas, water treatment, and chemical processing.

5. How accurate do tank dimensions need to be?

The accuracy of tank dimensions depends on the specific application. For some industries, such as pharmaceuticals or food and beverage, precise measurements are crucial for ensuring the safety and quality of the products being stored. In other cases, such as in agriculture, there may be more leniency in the accuracy of tank dimensions.
