ANSWER:
Solution 52HP
Step 1 of 4
We have to find the final specific volume of the water.
The final specific volume of the water can be found using the expression,
where,
total volume of the water in
tank A and B in m3
total mass of the water in
tank A and B in kg
and are the volume of the water in
tank and respectively.
and are the mass of water in
tank and respectively.
