Question

A scuba tank, when fully submerged, displaces 16.7 L of seawater. The tank itself has a mass of 13.4 kg and, when "full," contains 4.47 kg of air. Find the total mass of the tank?

Answer 1

`m = 17.87 kg`

Step-by-step explanation:

As we know that tank itself has mass given as 13.4 kg

so it is given as

`m_1 = 13.4 kg`

also the tank contains air in it and the mass of air inside the tank is also given as 4.47 kg

so it is

`m_2 = 4.47 kg`

so total mass of the tank is the mass of the empty tank and mass of air in the tank

`m = m_1 + m_2`

`m = 13.4 + 4.47`

`m = 17.87 kg`
