Question

A cubic meter of water weighs 1 000 kg. What is

the weight of 2 meters by 3 meters by 20
centimetre of water?

Answer 1

1200

Explanation:

First , we need to calculate the new volume using the dimensions given.

V=L×W×H

L=3meters

W=2meters

H=20Centimeters

H=(20/100)meters=0.2 meters

V=3×2×0.2=1.2m³

using simple proportions

if 1m³=1000kg

then. 1.2m³=Y

Y=(1.2m³×1000kg)/1m3

Y=1200kg
