Exercise 2.1.
What is the volume of tank in
a. in3
b. ft3 2’ 3’’ H
c. barrel
d. bbl/in 4’ 6’’ W
e. bbl/ft 6’ L
Continued...
Answer: 2’ 3’’ H
a. Volume ( in3 )
6’ L = 6 x 12 = 72” 4’ 6’’ W
4’ 6” W = 4 x 12 + 6 = 54” 6’ L
2’ 3” H = 2 x 12 + 3 = 27”
Volume = 72 x 54 x 27 = 104,976 in3
b. Volume ( ft3 )
6’ L = 6’

4’ 6” W = 4 + 12 = 4.5′

2’ 3” W = 2 + 12 = 2.25′
Volume = 6 x 4.5 x 2.25 = 60.75 ft3
c. Volume ( barrel )
