Question from Morpal: we want to calculate volume of rectangular box height 1275mm and lengths 2400mm and breadth 1270mm and oil s. gravity is .950 how much kg. of oil i can store |
Hi Morpal,
1000 millimeters is one meter so your box is 1.275 cm by 2.400 cm by 1.270 cm. You can now use or volume calculator at http://mathcentral.uregina.ca/volume_calculator to calculate the volume in cubic meters. I got almost 4 cubic meters. A cubic meter of water has a mass of 1,000 kg. What would be the mass of liquid in the box if you filled it with water? Oil weighs 0.95 times as much as water. What would be the mass of liquid in the box if you filled it with oil?
