Find the capacity in liter of a tank 0.6m long 10cm wide and 50mm deep

1 answer

To find the capacity of the tank in liters, we first need to calculate its volume in cubic meters, and then convert that volume to liters.

  1. Convert all dimensions to meters:

    • Length = 0.6 m (already in meters)
    • Width = 10 cm = 0.1 m (since 100 cm = 1 m)
    • Depth = 50 mm = 0.05 m (since 1000 mm = 1 m)
  2. Calculate the volume in cubic meters: \[ \text{Volume} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width} \times \text{Depth} \] \[ \text{Volume} = 0.6 , \text{m} \times 0.1 , \text{m} \times 0.05 , \text{m} \] \[ \text{Volume} = 0.0003 , \text{m}^3 \]

  3. Convert cubic meters to liters: Since 1 cubic meter is equal to 1000 liters: \[ \text{Volume in liters} = 0.0003 , \text{m}^3 \times 1000 , \text{L/m}^3 \] \[ \text{Volume in liters} = 0.3 , \text{L} \]

Thus, the capacity of the tank is 0.3 liters.
