Chapter 11: Problem 7
A typical American household uses approximately \(30 \mathrm{kWh}\) per day of electricity. Convert this to Joules and then imagine building a water tank \(10.8 \mathrm{~m}\) above the house \(^{37}\) to supply one day's worth of electricity. \(^{38}\) How much mass of water is this, in kg? At a density of \(1,000 \mathrm{~kg} / \mathrm{m}^{3}\), what is the volume in cubic meters, and what is the side length of a cube \(^{39}\) having this volume? Take a moment to visualize (or sketch) this arrangement.
