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 and average depth of 4.8 ft? (b) What is the mass (in kg) of water in the pool?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 483,118.07 gallons of water is required to fill the pool.

b)1,828,800 kg is the mass of water in the pool.

Explanation:

Length of the Olympic-size pool,l = 50.0 m

Breadth of the Olympic-size pool,b = 25.0 m

Height up to which pool is to be filled,h = 4.8 feet  = 1.46304 m

1 foot = 0.3048 m

Volume of the water in the pool = Volume of swimming pool

Volume of swimming pool = l × b × h

[tex]=50.0 m\times 25.0 m\times 1.46304 m=1828.8 m^3[/tex]

[tex] 1 m^3=10^6 cm^3=10^6 mL[/tex]

[tex]1828.8 m^3=10^6\times 1828.8 mL=1.8288\times 10^9 mL[/tex]

1 gal = 3785.41 mL

[tex]1.8288\times 10^9 mL=1.8288\times 10^9\times \frac{1}{ 3785.41} gal =483,118.07 gal[/tex]

b)Volume of the water in the swimming pool = [tex]1828.8 \times 10^9 mL[/tex]

Mass of water = m

Density of water = 1.0 g/mL

[tex]Density=\frac{Mass}{Volume}[/tex]

[tex]Mass=1.0 g/mL\times 1.8288\times 10^9 mL=1.8288\times 10^9 g[/tex]

1 kg = 1000 g

[tex]1.8288\times 10^9 g=1.8288\times 10^6 kg=1,828,800 kg[/tex]

1,828,800 kg is the mass of water in the pool.
