Question 131810
What is the approximate weight of oil in a container 3 feet high and 9 inches in diameter if the oil weighs approximately 55 pounds per cubic foot?
----------------------------------
Volume = (pi)r^2h
V = (pi)(4.5/12)^2*(3)= 1.3253594... cu. ft
------------
Weight = V*55 lbs = 72.89...lbs.
