SUMMARY
The discussion centers on calculating the added weight of water in tanks based on a specific weight of 9.45 kN/m³. To determine the added weight for various tank sizes, one must multiply the specific weight by the volume of water in each tank. The user seeks clarification on whether to simply add the volumes to the specific weight, indicating a need for a more structured approach to the problem.
