A gallon of water weighs approximately 8.35 pounds.
How many pounds of water are in the pool at 95% capacity?
pounds Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! For cu ft or ft^3, multiply the three dimensions to get 1684 ft^3.
-
95% capacity is 0.95 * 1684 ft^3=1599.8 ft^3
-
multiply that by 7.48 to get gallons=11,966.50
-
multiply that by 8.35 to get weight=99920.03 pounds
