Answer:
[tex]44,826.72\ \text{pounds}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The diameter of a hemispherical tank= 14 feet
Radius, r = 7 feet
water
Water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot.
We need to find the total weight of the water in a full tank to the nearest pound.
The volume of the hemisphere is given by :
[tex]V=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi r^3\\\\V=\dfrac{2}{3}\pi \times (7)^3\\\\V=718.377\ \text{feet}^3[/tex]
If water weighs 62.4 pounds per cubic foot, it means
[tex]V=718.377\times 62.4\\\\V=44,826.72\ \text{pounds}[/tex]
So, the total weight of the water is [tex]44,826.72\ \text{pounds}[/tex].
