An ice block 10 centimeters on each side melted, how much would it raise the water level in a tank that is 100 centimeters long by 40 centimeters wide?

Respuesta :

Volume of the ice block = 10 x 10 x 10 = 1000 cm³

Height increased = 1000 ÷ (100 x 40) = 1000 ÷ 4000 = 0.25 cm

Answer: The height will raise by 0.25cm

An ice block 10 centimeters on each side melted, so the amount of water level rise in a tank is 0.25 centimeters and this can be determined by using the arithmetic operations.

Given :

  • An ice block 10 centimeters on each side melted.
  • Water level in the tank is 100 centimeters long by 40 centimeters wide.

The following steps can be used to determine the rise in water level when the ice block is melted:

Step 1 - First find the volume of the ice cube.

Volume of ice cube = [tex]10\times 10 \times 10[/tex]

Volume of ice cube = 1000

Step 2 - The water level in the tank is:

[tex]= 40\times 100[/tex]

= 4000

Step 3 - Divide 1000 by 4000.

[tex]= \dfrac{1000}{4000}[/tex]

[tex]=0.25[/tex] cm

An ice block 10 centimeters on each side melted, so the amount of water level rise in a tank is 0.25 centimeters.
