The 'standard' density of water is one metric tonne per cubic meter so, if your cargo volume is 6.75 cubic metres, then filled with water it would weigh 6.75 tonnes. On the other hand, if the cargo volume was a cube 6.75m on a side, filled with water, it would weigh just over 307.5 tonnes. So, either way, the 50 tonnes figure is, there's no nice way of saying this, wrong.

Sorry.

Afternoon PDT,

While digging through some paperwork I have in a folder marked Traveller Stuff I made an entry that a cargo capacity of 6.75 m^3 equals 50 mt which is approximately 3/4 the weight of water. I have two questions

1. Can anyone provide a Traveller source for the information?

2. What is the actual weight of water?
