Answer:
The tin will hold 41.472litres of water when the surface is 16cm below the top.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
bottom of tin is 36cm×36cm and height is 48 cm.
It is given in the question that the surface of the water is 16 cm below from the top.
Thus, height of the water=48-16=32cm.
The amount of water it can hold is the volume of the tin.
∴Volume of tin=area of base×height
Here, Area of base=36×36=1296cm² and height=32cm
Substituting the values in the above equation
⇒Volume of tin=1296cm²×32cm
⇒Volume of tin=41472cm³
⇒Volume of tin=41.472litres ∵1cm³=10⁻³litre
