Question

If 65 gallons of hydraulic oil weighs 350lb, what is the specific weight of the oil in lb/ft^3?

Answer 1

Answer:

55.655 lb/ft³

Explanation:

Given data in question

oil weight i.e. w  = 350 lb    

oil volume i.e. v = 65 gallons = 6.68403 ft³

               

To find out

the specific weight of the oil

Solution

We know the specific weight formula is weight / volume    

we have given both value so we will put weight and volume value in

specific weight formula i.e.  

specific weight  =  weight / volume    

specific weight  =  372 / 6.68403 = 55.6550    

specific weight  =  55.655 lb/ft³
