The entire length of this pipe is 20 feet, while the diameter of the pipe is 6 inches.
Find the volume in cu/ft
Radius = 3 inches which is .25 ft
V = pi%2A.25%5E2%2A20
V = 3.927 cu/ft
:
A.How many gallons of water will it hold?
Convert to gallons: 3.927 * 7.481 = 29.378 gallons
:
B. How much will the weight will the water add to the pipe when full?
29.378 * 8.347 = 245.2 lbs
