A technical machinist is asked to build a cubical steel tank that will hold 130l of water. calculate in meters the smallest possible inside length of the tank. round your answer to the nearest 0.001m.

Answer:0.507m

To answer this question, you need to know how to calculate a cube volume. Cube volume is calculated by multiplying the length^3, make its unit become cubic meter.

In this case we know the volume is 130L and asked how long is the length in meter. Then you need to convert the liter into m3. The calculation would be:

V=R^3

130L = R^3

R = 3 √ (130m3/1000)

R = 5.065797/10 m

R = 0.506579m

Rounded up to 0.507m
