1 answer

To find the mass of the water in the tank, we first need to find the volume of the tank. The volume of a rectangular tank can be calculated by multiplying the length, width, and height.

Volume = Length x Width x Height
= 6 meters x 1.5 meters x 2.4 meters
= 21.6 cubic meters

Now, we can find the mass of the water by multiplying the volume by the density of water.

Mass = Volume x Density
= 21.6 cubic meters x 1,000 kilograms per cubic meter
= 21,600 kilograms

Therefore, the mass of the water in the tank is 21,600 kilograms. So the correct answer is option D.
