A Bathtub has dimensions of 5ft Long, 3ft wide, and 2ft tall. The tub itself weighs 300lbf. The tub contains 100 gallons of wate

r at T-110°F. A human weighing 200lbs sits down in the tub. a. What is the volume of water in ft? 1. Grab a fluids text or find a table of specific weight of water in "English units" with temperature (It's NOT 62.4lbf/ft'), and find the weight of the water in units of Ibf. What is the total weight of tub plus human plus water? What is the pressure on the floor in units of psi (Ibf/in2)? b. c. d.

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

The graph shows the number of quarts picked and the amount of money the customer paid.

harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

Constant of proportionality k = 3.5

In our case, We can say that Amount of 1 quart is $3.5, and as the number of quarts bought are increased the amount paid is also increased at rate of $3.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find what is the constant of proportionality, and what does it mean in this situation?

Constant of proportionality can be defined as:

$if\:y\:\alpha \:x\:then\:y=kx$

Where k is constant of proportionality

It tells that there is constant increase in the value of y.

Looking at the graph,

we get Number of Quarts (x) = 1, Amount Paid (y)= 3.5

so, finding constant of proportionality

$y=kx\\3.5=k(1)\\k=3.5$

Now, Number of Quarts (x) = 2, Amount Paid (y)=7

so, finding constant of proportionality

$y=kx\\7=k(2)\\k=\frac{7}{2}\\k=3.5$

So, for any value of x and y, the value of k remains constant i.e 3.5

So, constant of proportionality k = 3.5

In our case, We can say that Amount of 1 quart is $3.5, and as the number of quarts bought are increased the amount paid is also increased at rate of $3.5.

How do u do mean median range

liq [111]

Mean: Add up all of the values then divide by the number of values
Ex. 3+5+2 = 10 divided by three

Which graph or table shows a proportional relationship? Select all that apply.

VikaD [51]

Answer:

The number of days and total miles run one.

Step-by-step explanation:

A proportional relationship is y/x being the same everytime. The first table doesnt fit with that. The second graph isnt a straight line. The third table isnt coreect either. Lastly the forth table workng.

Sorry if im incorrect

Jorge has his own business as a painter. The amounts he made in the last five months are shown below. Find the mean, median, and

deff fn [24]

I'm gonna assume that the 5s are $.

To find the mean, add all the numbers, then divide by the number of data points (5).

(2426+2463+1451+2154+1119)/5 = 1922.6

To find the median, put the data in order from least to greatest, then find the middle data point.

1119 1451 2154 2426 2463

To find the range, subtract the largest from the smallest:

2463-1119 = 1344

Find the constant of variation for the relationship f(x)= 50x.

djyliett [7]

<span>f(x)= 50x
</span><span>y = k x
k is variation
so k= 50
D is the right option
hope it helps
