to make a open fish tank,a glass sheet of 2mm guage is used . the outer length,breadth and height of tank are 60.4 cm ,40.4cm,40.2cm respectively. how much maximum volume of water will be contained in it ?
Answers
To answer the question, we must find the inner volume of the water tank.
The thickness of the glass 2mm or 0.2cm.For inner length and breadth, we deduct 0.4cm from the outer length and breadth. For the inner height, since it is an open tank, we deduct 0.2cm.
Inner length= 60.4cm - 0.4cm = 60cm
Inner breadth= 40.4cm - 0.4cm= 40cm
Inner height= 40.2cm - 0.2cm= 40cm
Maximum water volume= Innner length x inner breadth x inner height
=60cm x 40cm x40cm
Explanation:
Given, the thickness of the glass sheet = 2 mm = 0.2 cm, length of the box, l = 60.4 cm, breadth = 40.4 cm and height = 40.2 cm. When the tank is open, its internal length = 60.4 - 0.4 = 60 cm, internal width = 40.4 - 0.4 = 40 cm, internal height = 40.2 - 0.2 = 40 cm. Hence, the volume of water in the tank = its internal volume = (60 X 40 X 40) cm = 96,000 square cm. The maximum volume of water contained in the tank = 96,000 square cm.
