Problem Solving: Input your final answer on the space provide.
Note: Use three decimal places and no need to input the unit.
Determine the total mass (in kg) of a cylindrical tank (D = 700mm & L =
1500m) containing a fluid that has a density of 2400 kg/m^3. Consider
the mass of the tank is 20% of fluid's mass.
