Question 765866: Ice weighs 62.4lbs per cubic ft. Find approximate weight of the figures:
A) 22ft x 15ft x 4ft
B) 2 cylindrical pilars, each has diameter of 1ft x 9ft
C) 4 spheres, largest sphere has diameter of 4ft other 3 diametets are 2ft, 1ft, 1/2ft
Round weights to nearest tenth

You can put this solution on YOUR website!
A) Using formula: length*width*height
= 1320ft^3
1320 * 62.4 = 823681bs
......................
B) Using formula: (Pi*r^2*h)*2 (height = 9ft)
= 14.1ft^3
14.1 * 62.4 = 879.8lbs
........................
C) Using formula: 4/3*Pi*r^3
Diam = 4ft = 33.51ft^3
33.51 * 62.4 = 2091.0lbs
Diam = 2ft = 4.19ft^3
4.19*62.4 = 261.5lbs
Diam = 1ft = 0.52ft^3
0.52 * 62.4 = 32.5lbs
Diam = 1/2ft = 0.07ft^3
0.07 * 62.4 = 4.4lbs
Hope this helps.
