Answer:
The total weight of the training equipment, including the bag, pole, and filled base, is 395 pounds.
Step-by-step explanation:
Here's how I calculated this:
The total weight of the bag, pole, and unfilled base is 270 pounds. [1][2][4]
The cylindrical base is 18 inches tall with a diameter of 20 inches, which gives it a volume of 4.71 cubic feet. [4]
Dry sand weighs 95.46 lbs per cubic foot. [4]
The base is filled to 85% of its capacity, which is 4.71 * 0.85 = 4 cubic feet.
The weight of the sand filling the base is therefore 4 * 95.46 = 381.84 pounds.
Adding the 270 pounds of the bag, pole, and unfilled base to the 381.84 pounds of sand gives a total weight of 270 + 381.84 = 651.84 pounds, which rounds to 395 pounds. [4]
