quick question, how much does 1000ltrs of water weigh ?

 

a ton, 1 litre 1 kilo

 

is that not a general common sense Q?

 

look up

 

cause its not, 1000ltr tank full of water apparantly weights a ton which i thought but a 1000ltr tank full of lead isnt gonna weigh that is it

 

Would 1000 litres of oil weigh 1 ton?

 

thats becasue lead is heavier than water in density,

also add weight of the tank btw

 

my point exactly, if i had some scales and a litre tub i would of calculated it obviuosly, but nothing to hand hence quick question

 

jesus wept man!

yes it is common sense!

of course fucking lead isnt going to weigh the same as its a different DENSITY!


dave
no oil is a different density also.

 

Like i said the question was a quick one i had nothing to measure it at the time and i thought it was a ton but needed to know asap so keep your sarky comments and fuck off

 

I thought that

 

give this lad a break,its not his fault he never went to school.

 

lol

i cant believe anyone would actually have to weigh 1litre of water to work out what it weighs

 

your right i didnt

 

It also depends on the temperature of the water!!
1000 litres of hot water weighs less than 100 litres of cold water.

Intrestingly 1000 liters of 95 ron unleaded petrol weights 750KG.

 

What weighs more?

1 TON OF FEATHERS

OR

1 TON OF BRICKS?

 

duh feathers!

LMAO

 

Come on peeps, this is easy.
1000 LITRES(water) X 0.0353147 = CUBIC FEET X 62.424215 = 2204.4924 LBS

Beat me to it!

 

yea, 1L of water is 1Kg at 4şC

 

i think he knows now.

 

someone has been on google!

 

ah but he might want to heat the water to 4şc jus to makesure it weighs what he expects Dave!

not true! (apart from your are missing a zero!). pressure must be considered and if you started with 1000 litres of cold and heated it up it would expand so you would no longer have '1000 litres' but slightly more. the mass of the water would still be the same however

 

PGT
incorrect, the SG would be less.
As you stated warm it and it exands, still the same mass in total but taking up a larger volume as you mentioned.....so the 1000 litres would weigh LESS as is it no longer all of your original water.

 

what is SG? anyway i said that the pressure must be considered. simply assuming that the water will expand as it gets heated is not reasonable since it might well be in a sealed tank which would preclude expansion so we still have 1000 litres of water taking up the same space albeit at a higher temp - and it still weighs 1000kg

 

What weighs more....

the trains that pass thru Grand Central Station in 1 full week!!

or

The trees that are chopped down purely for the American Currency to be printed on for one year??

 

1000 litres of water doesn't weigh a ton

it weighs a tonne

 

Who gives a tiny rats ass

 

Kind of playing it fast and loose with the word "Interestingly"

Funny post this....

 

NO have not been on google, got my figures out of AUTO MATH by JOHN LAWLOR.

SG = specific gravity

 

you're all wrong anyway - 1000 litres of water has a mass of approximately 1000kg

here on earth it's weight is approximately 9810 Newtons
