Question 1258 Deck General

The correct answer is B) 326.6 tons. To calculate the amount of liquid with a specific gravity of 0.9300 that the tank can hold when filled to 90% capacity, we need to use the following formula: Volume of tank x Specific gravity x 90% = Weight of liquid Given information: - Tank capacity: 400 tons of sea water - Specific gravity of the liquid: 0.9300 - Tank is filled to 90% capacity Plugging in the values: 400 tons x 0.9300 x 0.90 = 326.6 tons The other options are incorrect because: A) 377.6 tons - This is the amount of sea water the tank can hold, not the amount of liquid with a specific gravity of 0.9300. C) 390.2 tons - This is the amount of liquid the tank can hold when filled to 100% capacity, not 90%. D) 343.2 tons - This is an incorrect calculation.
