Can someone help me plz ​

Answer 1

Answer:

9442 lb

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the volume of the tank.  This being a sphere, the volume is V =(4/3)π·r³.  Here the diameter is 17 ft, so the radius, r, is half that:  8.5 ft.

Then the volume of the sphere is V = (4/3)π·(8.5 ft)³, and half that (the volume of the hemisphere) is (2/3)π·72.25 ft³.

Water weighs 62.4 lb/ft³.  To find the weight of the water in the full tank, multiply the tank volume by this weight density 62.4 lb/ft³:

(2/3)π·72.25 ft³ · 62.4 lb/ft³ ≈ 9442 lb
