The volume of the solvent can be found using the formula for the volume of a cylinder:
V = πr^2h
where π is Pi (approximately 3.14), r is the radius of the tank, and h is the height of the solvent in the tank.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
V = π(1.47m)^2(3.26m)
V = 20.33 m^3
The density of the solvent can be found using the formula:
density = mass / volume
where mass is the amount of solvent in kilograms and volume is the volume of the solvent in cubic meters.
Plugging in the given values, we have:
density = 15800kg / 20.33 m^3
density = 777.49 kg/m^3
Therefore, the density of the solvent is 777.49 kg/m^3.
A cylindrical storage tank has a radius of 1.47m. When filled to a height of 3.26m, it holds 15800kg of a liquid industrial solvent. What is the density of the solvent?
