The weight of the fuel when the tank is filled is 2.13 kip.

The density of the fuel of the jet engine= 1.32 slug/ft³

The total volume of the fuel that can be filled in the fuel tank of a jet engine = 50 ft³

The specific weight of the fuel when the tank is filled is,

$\gamma = p \times g$

$\gamma = 1.32 \times 32.2$

$\gamma = 42.504 \: ib/ft ^{3}$

The specific weight of the fuel when the tank is filled is 42.504 ib/ft ³.

The weight of the fuel when the tank is filled is,

$w = \gamma \times ∀$

$w = 42.5.4 \times 50$

$w = 2.13 \: kip$

The weight of the fuel is 2.13 kip.

Therefore, the weight of the fuel when the tank is filled is 2.13 kip.
