How Do I Calculate The Water Capacity In A Rectangular Tank|What Is The Formula To Calculate The Capacity Of Water Tanks.

Sol:

Suppose we have a rectangular water tank having dimensions 

Length=A metre Width=B metre & Depth=C metre

Volume=LengthxWidthxDepth

            =A metreXB metreXDepthXC metre

             =ABC Cum

or

Volume=ABCX35.13 Cft

            =abc Cft

Capacity=Volumex28.32

Remember 1 Cft of water contains 28.32 Litres of water in it.

The Product of Volume and Constant Term 28.32 Will Give You The Capacity of Water in A Tank.

Let Us Take An Example

Suppose we want to calculate the capacity of water tank having dimensions

Length=2 Metre,Width=1 Metre,Depth=3 Metre

Volume=2 Metre x 1Metre x 3Metre

Volume=6Cubic Metre(Cum)

Or,

Volume =6 Cum

Now Calculate the Volume in terms of Cubic Feet(Cft)

We Know,

1 Cum=35.31Cft

Volume=6x35.31Cft

Volume=211.86 Cft

In Order to calculate the capacity of water  we have to multiply the volume by 28.32

Therefore,

Capacity of water Tank=Volume of tankx28.32

Remember 1 Cft of water contains 28.32 Litres of water in it

Capacity of water Tank  =211.86x28.32

                                      = 5999.8752 Litres

                                      =6000 Litres (Approx)
