Question

A water bath in a physical chemistry lab is 1.75 m long, 0.730 m wide, and 0.650 m deep. If it is filled to within 2.27 inches from the top, how many liters of water are in it?

Answer 1

It is 0.720 meters cause if the manufacturers of liters contain 2.27 inches it would make a deeply filled of 0.660

Answer 2

Answer: The volume of water present are 73.584 liters.

Explanation :  Given,

Length of box = 1.75 m

Breadth of box = 0.730 m

Height of box = 0.650 m

Height of water = 2.27 inch = 0.0576 m

Conversion used : (1 inch = 0.0254 m)

To calculate the volume of water by using the formula of volume of cuboid, we use the equation:

$V=lbh$

where,

V = volume of water

l = length of water = 1.75 m

b = breadth of water = 0.730 m

h = height of water = 0.0576 m

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$V=1.75m\times 0.730m\times 0.0576m=0.073584m^3=73.584L$

Conversion used : $1m^3=1000L$

Hence, the volume of water present are 73.584 liters.
