A cubical vessel of side 1 m is filled completely with water. How many millilitres of water is contained in it

Question

A cubical vessel of side 1 m is filled completely with water. How many millilitres of water is contained in it (neglect thickness of the vessel)?

Accepted Answer

The vessel is a cube with side 1 m.
Volume of the cube = side x side x side = 1 m x 1 m x 1 m = 1 cubic meter (m^3).

To convert cubic meters to millilitres, we use the following conversions:
1 m = 100 cm
1 m^3 = (100 cm)^3 = 100 x 100 x 100 cm^3 = 1,000,000 cm^3.

We also know that 1 cubic centimetre (cm^3) is equivalent to 1 millilitre (mL).
Therefore, 1,000,000 cm^3 = 1,000,000 mL.

So, the cubical vessel contains 1,000,000 millilitres of water.

Analyzing the options:
A) 1000 mL: This would be 1 litre, or 1000 cm^3, which is a much smaller volume (0.001 m^3).
B) 10000 mL: This is 10 litres, or 10000 cm^3.
C) 100000 mL: This is 100 litres, or 100000 cm^3.
D) 1000000 mL: This is 1000 litres, or 1 m^3, which matches our calculation.

The final answer is D.
