The volume of the tank is 210m
The weight is 17,640

This is my answer I believe it’s right but I’m not sure.

Let's find the volume of the tank by l×w×h
10×3×7
30×7
210 ft³
So the volume of the water in the tank is 210 ft³.
Now, since it is 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, we have to multiply.
62.4×210
13,104
The weight of the water in the tank is 13,104 lbs.
