Capacity Formula:
From: | To: |
Capacity of water is calculated by dividing the volume of water by its density. It represents the amount of water that can be contained per unit mass.
The calculator uses the capacity formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula calculates how much volume of water can be contained per unit mass based on its density.
Details: Calculating water capacity is essential for water storage planning, hydraulic engineering, and fluid mechanics applications.
Tips: Enter volume in m³ and density in kg/m³ (default density of water is 1000 kg/m³). All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: What is the standard density of water?
A: The density of pure water at 4°C is 1000 kg/m³, which is the standard reference value.
Q2: Does temperature affect the calculation?
A: Yes, water density changes with temperature, so for precise calculations, use the density at the actual temperature.
Q3: What units should I use?
A: The calculator uses metric units (m³ for volume and kg/m³ for density) for consistency.
Q4: Can I use this for other liquids?
A: Yes, the formula works for any liquid, but you must input the correct density for that specific liquid.
Q5: How accurate is this calculation?
A: The accuracy depends on the precision of your volume and density measurements.
