Answer:
4969.44 lbf
Explanation:
given,
Density of the water = 62.3 lb/ft³
volume of the vessel = 80 ft³
acceleration of gravity = 32.08 ft/s²
weight of the water = ?
we know,
mass = density x volume
m = 62.3 x 80
m = 4984 lb
weight of the water
W = m g
W = 4984 x 32.08
W = 159886.72 lbm. ft/s²
1 lbf = 32.174 lbm. ft/s²
[tex]W = \dfrac{159886.72}{32.174}[/tex]
W = 4969.44 lbf
the weight of the water = 4969.44 lbf
