QUESTION:
An Olympic-size pool is 50.0 m long and 25.0 m wide, (a) How many gallons of water (d = 1.0 g/mL) are needed to fill the pool to an average depth of 4.8 ft? (b) What is the mass (in kg) of water in the pool?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
(a) Here, we are going to calculate the volume of water needed to fill the pool.
Given that,
Length =50.0 m
Wide = 25.0 m
Depth = 4.8 ft = 4.8 0.3048 = 1.46 m
Volume of the pool = 50 m 25 m = 1828.8
We know that,
1.0 = 264.17 gal
Therefore, the amount of water needed to fill the pool = 1828.8 = 483114.09 gal.
