Question

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.85m long, 0.810m wide and 0.740m deep. If it is filled to within 2.57 in from the top, how many liters of water are in it

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.

Explanation:

Length of the water bath, L = 1.85 m

Width of the water bath, W= 0.810  m

Height of the water bath ,H= 0.740 m

Height of the water in water bath, h= 0.740 m - 2.57 inches

1 m = 39.37 inch

$= 0.740 m - \frac{2.57}{39.37} m = 0.6747 m$

Volume of the water in bath = L × W × h

$=1.85 m\times 0.810 m\times 0.6747 m=1.011 m^3$

$1 m^3=1000 L$

$1.011 m^3=1.011\times 1000 L=1,011 L$

The volume of water in water bath is 1,011 Liters.
