A cylindrical tank is 50 inches long, has a diameter of 16 inches and contains 1.65 lbm of water. Calculate the density of water in Ibm per cubic feet.

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.285 lbm per cubic feet

Explanation:

length of tank = 50 inches = 50/12 feet = 4.17 feet

diameter of tank = 16 inches = 16/12 feet = 1.33 feet

weight of water = 1.65 lbm

density of water = ?

We know that the density of a substance is given as

ρ = w/v

where ρ is the density in Ibm per cubic feet

w is the weight in lbm

v is the volume in cubic feet

Volume of a cylinder = [tex]\frac{\pi d^{2} l}{4}[/tex]

where d is the diameter

l is the length

volume = [tex]\frac{3.142*1.33^{2}* 4.17}{4}[/tex] = 5.79 cubic feet

Therefore, the density of water will be

ρ = w/v = 1.65/5.79 = 0.285 lbm per cubic feet

The density of water will be "0.285 lbm per cubic feet".

Density:

According to the question :

Length of tank = 50 inches or,

                        = [tex]\frac{50}{12}[/tex]

                        = 4.17 feet

Diameter of tank = 16 inches or,

                            = [tex]\frac{16}{12}[/tex]

                            = 1.33 feet

Weight of water = 1.65 lbm

We know the formula,

Volume of cylinder,

= [tex]\frac{\pi d^2 l}{2}[/tex]

By substituting the values, we het

= [tex]\frac{3.142\times (1.33)^2\times 4.17}{4}[/tex]

= 5.79 cubic feet

hence,

The density of water will be:

→ ρ = [tex]\frac{w}{v}[/tex]

By substituting the values,

      = [tex]\frac{1.65}{5.79}[/tex]

      = 0.285 lbm/cubic feet

Thus the above answer is correct.
