The formula for the volume of a cylinder is

We know the diameter, so we can easily find the radius. The diameter is twice as long as the radius, so we divide the diameter by 2 to find the radius. This is equal to 6/2 = 3. Now, we plug our numbers into the formula.

This could also be written:

Both 27 pi cubic meters and 84.82 cubic meters are correct answers, so choose whichever one you think your teacher would prefer.
Although the formula looks involved, the key here is looking to see where the information goes.
We are given all the pieces but need to convert mph to ft/s to use the formula. Let's do it with 1 mph so that we have a ratio to use. We and solve a unit conversion problem.

That ratio tells us that 1 mph is 1.466666 ft/s. Now we solve two proportions.
1 mph / 1.466666 feet per second = 60 mph / x feet per second.
1x = (60)(1.466666)
So x = 88 feet per second.
Next, We repeat for 24 mph.
1 mph / 1.46666 feet per second = 24 mph / x feet per second.
1x = (1.4666666)(24)
x = 35.2 feet per second
Now we have the found appropriate V₁ and V₂. V₁ > V₂, so V₁ is 88 ft/s and V₂ is 35.2 ft/s. The problem tells us θ = 2.3 degrees, K₁ = .4 and K₂ = .06. The rest of the problem is calculator work. Start by substituting our degree measure of 2.3 degrees and the given values in the problem for V₁, V₂, K₁, and K₂
![D = \frac{1.05[(88)^{2}-(35.2)^{2}]}{64.4(.4+.06 + (sin 2.3))}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=D%20%3D%20%5Cfrac%7B1.05%5B%2888%29%5E%7B2%7D-%2835.2%29%5E%7B2%7D%5D%7D%7B64.4%28.4%2B.06%20%2B%20%28sin%202.3%29%29%7D)

D = 6830.208 / 32.208372
D = 212.0631 = 212 (to the nearest foot)
Thus the car needs 212 feet to stop.
