In the diagram not drawn to scale, Tank J and Tank K each has a button that, when pressed, will cause the water to flow out if the water level is higher than the hole. Tank J measures 134 cm by 42 cm by 137 cm. Tank K measures 55 cm by 21 cm by 68 cm. Tank L is 69 cm by 20 cm by 26 cm. Both holes are located at a height of 14 cm from the top of their respective containers. When Tank J is completely filled with water and both buttons are pressed, what will be the final water level in Tank L?

A tank was completely filled with water. The ratio of the length of the tank to its breadth to its height is 8 : 4 : 15.
  1. Given that the height of the tank is 45 cm, find the volume of water in the tank.
  2. All the water in the tank was poured into 2 empty bottles A and B without spilling any water. As a result, Bottle A had 1500 cm3 more water than Bottle B. Find the volume of water in Bottle A. Give your answer in litres.

This figure is not drawn to scale. A rectangular glass tank 72 cm by 50 cm by 35 cm has 2 compartments, X and Y, with a water height of 30 cm in X and 15 cm in Y. A hole in the slider caused water to leak from X to Y. It was found that the water level in both compartments became the same after some time.
  1. What is the height of water in the tank now?
  2. It took 112 h for the water in both compartments to reach the same level. Assuming that water leaked at a constant rate, how much water flowed from X to Y in 1 minute? Express the answer to 1 decimal place in cm³.

A tank measuring 50 cm by 20 cm by 22 cm, with some cubes placed inside, was filled with 3.875 ℓ of water to the height as shown in Figure 1. Some water was then added into the tank to the height as shown in Figure 2. The total volume of water in the tank then became 8.375 ℓ. What was the volume of one cube?
