Answer:

a) What is the volume of water in ft?

We are given that The tub contains 100 gallons of water

1 UK gallon = 0.1605437 ft^3

So,

100 UK gallon = 100 \times 0.1605437 = 16.05437ft

b)Find the weight of the water in units of Ibf.

Specific weight of water at 100° F =61.862 lbf /ft^3

Weight of water = 61.862 \times 16.05437 lbf = 993.15543694 lbf

c)What is the total weight of tub plus human plus water?

Total weight = Weight of tub + weight of human + weight of water

                     = 300 lbf + 993.155 lbf + 200 lbf = 1493.155 lbsf

d)What is the pressure on the floor in units of psi (Ibf/in2)?

1 feet = 12 inches

Area of floor =5ft \times 3ft = 5 \times 12\times 3 \times 12 =60 in \times 36in = 2160 in^2

Pressure =\frac{\text{Total weight}}{Area} = \frac{1493.155}{2160} lbf /in^2=0.691 psi

Hence the pressure is 0.691 psi
