Question

A pool in the shape of a rectangular prism is 6 meters long and 3 meters wide. the water in the pool is 1 meter deep.

a. the density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. find the number of kilograms of water in the pool. question 2
b. you add 6000 kilograms of water to the pool. what is the depth of the water in the pool? write your answer as a fraction. the water is about meters deep.

Answer 1

1). Mass of water present= 18000 kg

2).4/3 meters deep

Explanation:

Area of the rectangle= 6*3= 18m²

Volume of water in the pool

= Deepness of water*area of rectangle

= 1*18

= 18 m³

density of water is about 1 gram per cubic centimeter

In kg per m³= 1000 kg/me

Mass of water present= density*volume

Mass of water present= 1000*18

Mass of water present= 18000 kg

2)6000 kilograms of water is added to 18000 of

Total mass present= 6000+18000

Total mass present=24000 kg

If density= 1000kg/m³

Volume present= mass/density

Volume present= 24000/1000

Volume present= 24 m³

Area of the rectangle= 18 m²

deepness of the pool= volume/area

deepness of the pool= 24/18

deepness of the pool= 4/3 meters deep
