Question

A hemispherical tank is filled with water and has a diameter of 15 feet. If water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, what is the total weight of the water in a full tank, to the nearest pound?

Answer 1

55135 lbs (rounded to the nearest pound)

Explanation:

​diameter of tank = 15 ft

Radius = 15/2 =7.5

volume of hemisphere = 2/3 ×π× 7.5³=883.5729

total weight of water = 62.4 × 883.57 = 55134.768

55134.768 rounded to the nearest pound is 55135 lb
