Answer:
weight= 1805.04 N
Step-by-step explanation:
In this problem we are expected to find the weight of the plastic tank and the weight of the equal volume of water
Given that
density of water = 1000 kg/m^3
volume of plastic tank is same as the volume of water= 0.18 m^3
we need to solve for the mass of the water
we know that density is = mass/volume
1000= mass/0.18
mass= 1000*0.18
mass= 180 kg
the total mass of the combined system is
4+180= 184 kg
the weight = mg (assuming g= 9.81 m/s^2)
weight = 184*9.81
weight= 1805.04 N
