Question

The reservoir stores 6 500 000 m3 of water. The density of the water is 998 kg/m3. Calculate the mass of water in the reservoir. Give your answer in standard form.

Answer 1

Answer:

Mass = 64,870,000,000 kilograms

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Density = 998 kg/m³

Volume = 6,500,000 m³

To find the mass of water in the reservoir;

Density can be defined as mass all over the volume of an object.

Simply stated, density is mass per unit volume of an object.

Mathematically, density is given by the equation;

Density = mass/volume

Making mass the subject of formula, we have;

Mass = density * volume

Mass = 998 * 6,500,000

Mass = 64,870,000,000 kilograms
