Question

To make an open fish tank, a glass sheet of 2 mm gauge is used.The outer length., breadth and height of the tank are 60.4 cm, 40.4 cm and 40.2 cm respectively.How much maximum volume of water will be contained in it?

Answer 2

Answer: Maximum volume of water that will be contained is 96000 cm³.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Thickness of the glass sheet of gauge which is used = 2mm=0.2cm

Outer length of the tank = 60.4 cm

Outer breadth of the tank = 40.4 cm

Outer height of the tank = 40.2 cm

So, Internal length of tank becomes

$60.4-2\times 0.2\\\\=60.4-0.4=60\ cm$

Internal breadth of tank becomes

$40.4-2\times 0.2\\\\=40.4-0.4\\\\=40\ cm$

Internal height of tank becomes

$40.2-0.2\\\\ =40\ cm$

Hence, Maximum volume of water that will be contained in it is given by

$Internal\ Volume=Length\times breadth\times height\\\\Internal\ Volume=60\times 40\times 40\\\\Internal\ Volume=96000\ cm^3\\\\\text{ as we know that }1000cm^3=1\ liter\\\\Volume=\frac{96000}{1000}=96\ liters$

Therefore, Maximum volume of water that will be contained is 96000 cm³.
