A factory stores natural gas for its backup generator in a pressurized steel tank. The tank is shaped like a sphere and has an inner radius of eight meters. Calculate the volume of the tank, then answer me this: If the backup generator burns the natural gas at a rate of two cubic meters per minute, how long can the generator run before it runs out of natural gas?

Answer: As long as there is a fuel supply of natural gas or propane, a well-maintained backup generator will keep running. If the Generac generator is running on propane, with a 500-gallon tank, it should run 24 hours a day for over a week.
