Water Weight Formula:
From: | To: |
Water weight calculation determines the mass of water based on its volume. Since the density of water is approximately 1000 kg/m³, the weight in kilograms equals the volume in cubic meters multiplied by 1000.
The calculator uses the water weight formula:
Where:
Explanation: This formula calculates the mass of water based on the principle that 1 cubic meter of water weighs 1000 kilograms at standard temperature and pressure.
Details: Calculating water weight is essential in various fields including engineering, construction, agriculture, and environmental science for designing water storage systems, irrigation planning, and hydraulic calculations.
Tips: Enter the volume of water in cubic meters. The volume must be a positive value greater than zero. The calculator will instantly compute the corresponding weight in kilograms.
Q1: Does temperature affect water density?
A: Yes, water density changes with temperature. This calculator uses the standard density of 1000 kg/m³ which applies to water at 4°C.
Q2: Can I use this for other liquids?
A: This calculator is specifically designed for water. Other liquids have different densities and would require different calculations.
Q3: How do I convert other volume units to cubic meters?
A: Common conversions: 1 liter = 0.001 m³, 1 gallon ≈ 0.003785 m³, 1 cubic foot ≈ 0.0283 m³.
Q4: Is this calculation accurate for seawater?
A: Seawater has higher density (about 1025 kg/m³) due to salt content, so this calculation would slightly underestimate seawater weight.
Q5: What are practical applications of this calculation?
A: Used in designing water tanks, swimming pools, calculating cargo weights for water transport, and determining structural loads from water storage.
