In summary, to find the volume of water with the same mass as 8.58 m3 of ethyl alcohol, the density of water needs to be multiplied by the volume and divided by the density of ethyl alcohol. To find the pressure at the bottom of the cubic tank, the equation Pb=Pa+density*g*h can be used, with the height being the cube root of the volume. The atmospheric pressure can be used for Pa.

1 atm= 101300 Pa...thats it?

Sure. Note that the pressure at the bottom is given in units of atm.
