How calculate rectangular water tank capacity in litters?

We assume the dimensions of water tank length, breadth and depth.

Take value in feet,

    Length (L)            = 12”

    Breadth (B)          = 8”

    Depth (H)            = 6”

    To find volume of water tank,

              Volume      = L X B X H

                                 = 12 X 8 X 6

                                 = 576 cu.ft

To find 1 cu.ft water?

     Density of water = 1000 kg/cu.m

              1 cu.m        = 1000 liters (1000kgs)

              1 cu.m        = 35.3198 cu.ft

     water in 1 cu.ft   = 1000/ 35.3198

                                 = 28.31 liters.

     So, weight of water = 576 x 28.31

                                 = 16306.56

                                 ~ 16307 liters. (16307 kgs)

    The capacity of rectangular water tank is 16307 liters.
