A rectangular ballast tank on a container ship is filled with heavy liquid brine. The base of the tank has a length of 8.5 m and a width of 4.4 m. The depth of the brine in the tank is 3.5 m.
Use the following values:
- density of heavy brine = 1200 kg/m3
- gravitational field strength, g=9.8 N/kgg = 9.8\text{ N/kg}g=9.8 N/kg
Calculate the weight of the brine in the ballast tank.
