We need (i) the volume of the tank.............

$"Tank volume"$ $=$ $100*cmxx50*cmxx30*cm$

$=$ $150000*cm^3$

But $rho_"water"=1*g*cm^-3$

And (ii) the relationship between mass, density, and volume.

Thus $"mass"="volume"xx"density"$

$=150000*cm^3xx1*g*cm^-3xx10^-3*kg*g^-1$

So that gives me over $100*kg$ .
