The weight obviously will depend upon the dimensions. As you are talking about LxBxH, you have rectangular rather than cylindrical shapes in mind. Even then, for the same volume you can have a cubical tank L=B=H or square (L=b) or rectangular tank L >> B. Any how I can guide you on how to proceed. One liter is equal to 1dm^3. Which means your tank has to have internal dimensions greater than 5m^3 and 10m^3 respectively. Find the total area of 5 plates (6 if there is a lid on top) and multiply by thickness to find volume of the metal and multiply by the density of the material used to get the weight of the tank. Add the weight of water. One liter of water weighs one Kg.So the weight of water will be 5 and 10 tonnes respectively.
