Question

a rectangular diesel tanker is 200cm long, 200 cm wide, and 4cm deep. how much litres of diesel can it hold

Answer 1

Volume = Length x Breadth x Height

100 cm = 1 meter 1m3 = 1000 liters

200 cm = 2 meters

4 cm = 0.04 meters

2 x 2 x 0.04 = 0.16 m3 = 0.16 x 1000 = 160 liters

So 160 liters will fill it to the brim. Generally if it is an industrial tanker, we take 5% ullage i.e. free area to allow diesel vapors (due to ambient temperature) .

5 / 100 = 0.05 * 160 liters = 8 liters. So better to fill only 152 liters.

If you consider total diesel only then it will be 160 liters.

Answer 2

Answer:

160liters

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = L * b* h

( 100cm = 1meter 1m3 = 1000 liters

200cm = 2meters

4cm = 0.04 = 0.16m3

0.16 * 1000 = 160 liters
