How many railway tanks will be needed to transport 1000 tons of oil, if the capacity of each tank is 50 m³.

univerkov | May 25, 2021 | education

Initial data: m (mass of oil for transportation) = 1000 t; V1 (volume of one oil tank) = 50 m ^ 3.

Reference data: ρн (oil density) = 800 kg / m ^ 3.

SI system: m = 1000 t = 1000 * 10 ^ 3 kg.

1) Determine the volume of oil, which has a mass of 1000 tons:

V = m / ρн = 1000 * 10 ^ 3/800 = 1250 m ^ 3.

2) Determine the required number of tanks:

n = V / V1 = 1250/50 = 25 tanks.

Answer: To transport 1000 tons of oil, 25 tanks are required.
