An open rectangular tank is made of iron 5 cm thick. The inner dimensions are: 1.75 by 1.50 by 1.25 meters.
Find the weight of the tank (a) when empty and (b) when full of water.(the density of the iron is 7.2 g/cm^3.)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To solve the problem, we need to know (and you MUST to provide) which of rectangles is the bottom of the tank.
Without this info the problem can not be solved (or we must consider three options, two of which are useless).
And, as I am sure, it is not the goal of this assignment.
