AI Thread Summary
To determine the dimensions of a cubic tank that holds 1,000.0 kg of water, it's essential to know the density of water, which is approximately 1,000 kg/m³. This means the volume of the tank is 1 cubic meter. The formula for the volume of a cube is V = side³, leading to the conclusion that each side of the cube measures 1 meter. The discussion highlights confusion about the problem and seeks guidance on how to apply the relevant formulas. Understanding the relationship between weight, volume, and density is crucial for solving this homework problem.

Homework Equations


n/a



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?
 

Thread 'Errors and significant figures'

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...

Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'

Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
