A rectangular tank has a base area of 6500 sq cm and holds 2.6 cubic meters of water. What is the water depth in the tank
Show answer Hide answer
Answer: D. 4m
Explanation
The volume of water in cubic centimeters is calculated by converting the metric volume measure. Dividing the total water volume by the base area determines the depth of the liquid. Converting centimeters to meters yields a final water depth of four meters. Tank volume equals the product of its base surface area and the fluid depth. Cubic meters must be converted to cubic centimeters when matching mixed unit measurements. One meter equals one hundred centimeters, affecting area and volume conversion factors.
Civil engineers calculate fluid depths in storage reservoirs and tanks to manage water supplies. Industrial manufacturing requires precise volume calculations for liquid mixing and containment vessels. Unit conversion is a critical skill in scientific and engineering computations to avoid costly errors. Option a underestimates the water depth due to an incorrect unit conversion calculation. Option b suggests a depth of three meters which fails the volume and base area division. Option c proposes an excessive depth that contradicts the given cubic capacity of the tank.
