not enough info given
if you know the molecular weight of the gas, temperature and pressure then you can use PV=nRT
ρ = m/V is for density of a liquid or non-hollow solid - applying that only gives you the volume of material used in the tank's construction. to get the volume of the tank using this formula you'd also need to know the shape and thickness of the tank
Are you sure?Quote:

3/10 = 0.3

You can just find the missing variableQuote:

right, a lump of material which has been hollowed-out in order to contain a gasQuote:

juji is correct
so the density of clump is equal to her mass, divided by (the volume of liquid she displaces minus the amount of hot air contained)
basically she has negligible density
you're retardedQuote:

the volume of a hollow object equals the volume of medium it displaces - that is, the volume of the chamber plus the volume of the material surrounding the chamber
there's no way to simplify it beyond this
X and Y are considered important variables for cartesian
you can look at it that way...Quote:

jeez i knew bob would show up itt and try to complicate a simple volume problem. don't really need
the other variables.
answer is b .3
congrats juji
because your question was shit, you asked "what is the volume of the gas tank" not "what is the volume of gas residing within the gas tank"Quote:

with the information provided, the only volume that can be calculated is the volume of metal used to make the tank.
If you have 10kg of steel (or 0.3 L of steel) you can use that steel to make a gas tank of any volume -
with 10kg of steel you can make:
- a small tank with thick walls (aka a lisa tank)
- a large tank with thin walls
- a huge tank with paper-thin walls (aka a ramen tank)
also the volume is dependent on the shape.
an empty cylindrical tank that weighs exactly the same as an empty spherical tank is going to be smaller than the spherical one, yet they weigh the same and use the same amount of material
