Subtopic: Godowns, bins and grain silos

Question Statement:

A CAP (Cover and Plinth) storage stack of bagged wheat has dimensions of $10.0\text{ m}$ length, $6.0\text{ m}$ width, and $4.0\text{ m}$ height. If the stack density of bagged grain is $600\text{ kg/m}^3$, the total storage capacity of the stack in tonnes is ________ (answer in integer).

Answer Key:

144

Step-by-Step Solution & Explanation

1. Volume of stack $V$: $V = L \times W \times H = 10.0 \times 6.0 \times 4.0 = 240.0\text{ m}^3$ 2. Storage capacity $M$: $M = V \times \rho_{stack} = 240.0\text{ m}^3 \times 600\text{ kg/m}^3 = 144,000\text{ kg} = 144\text{ tonnes}$
