HOW TO CALCULATE THE VOLUME OF WATER IN A RECTANGULAR TANK

 



How to measure water tank capacity?

To measure the capacity of the tank, you will need to do some simple calculations.

·         Measure the length, width, and height of your water tank in feet.

·         Convert the measurements to centimeters since the standard unit for volume is cubic centimeters (cm³), and 1 litre is equal to 1000 cm³.

·         Calculate the volume in cubic centimeters.

·         Convert the volume from cubic centimeters to liters by dividing by 1000.

Volume (in cm³) 

Length (cm) × Width (cm) × Height (cm)

 = Volume (in cm³) / 1000

Suppose you have a rectangular water tank with the following dimensions: 

·         Length = 5 feet 

·         Width = 3 feet 

·         Height = 4 feet

Convert the dimensions to centimeters:

·         Length = 5 feet × 30.48 cm/foot

= 152.4 cm 

·         Width = 3 feet × 30.48 cm/foot

 = 91.44 cm 

·         Height = 4 feet × 30.48 cm/foot

= 121.92 cm

Calculate the volume:

Volume = 152.4 cm × 91.44 cm × 121.92 cm

= 1696840.4864 cm³ 

Now for volume to liters: 

Capacity = 1696840.4864 cm³ / 1000

   = 1696.8404864 liters

So, the capacity of the water tank is approximately 1696.84 liters.

Traffic Engineering Design Process

Pre-Design Considerations Site Analysis Before creating a design, traffic engineers need to conduct a site analysis to determine what needs the site may have for the area’s traffic. They will need to take note of the surrounding area – businesses, schools, railways, protected lands, etc. – and investigate any local policies that might affect their work.  Traffic Surveys A traffic survey is a survey conducted by traffic engineers to determine how traffic moves through a particular area. These usually take 2-4 days per intersection to complete and need to occur throughout the day to ensure both peak and non-peak hours are factored in. One of the most popular ways a traffic survey is conducted is with the use of rubber hoses. These hoses run across the road and connect to a meter that counts each vehicle that passes while also determining what type of vehicle it is. These hoses also collect data on what speed the vehicle is going when it passes over the hose.  Traffic engineers will als
