Question

(2 pts) A water truck's tank has internal dimensions of 13 meters in length and 1.5 meters in diameter. If the truck's load of pure water is 70 percent of full capacity, how heavy is the load in pounds? Water's density is 62.4 lb/ft3.

Answer 1

The given values from the problem are:

Length = 13 meters
Diameter = 1.5 meters
Capacity = 70 %
Water density = 62.4 lb/ft3.

Equation: ((3.14(39.375/12)**2)x13x39.375/12) x .60 x 62.4 = X

Where X will be the load in pounds. You just have to use your calculator to calculate the value of x given the equation.

Hope that helps you.
