A tank open at the top, is made of sheet iron 1” thick. The internal dimensions of the tank are 4’8” long, 3’6” wide and 4’4” deep. Find the weight of the tank if empty and find the weight when full of salt water. (salt water weighs 64lb/cu.ft. and iron is 72 times as heavy as salt water). 4. A dam 100 ft. long has a cross section which is a trapezoid whose altitude is 16 ft. and upper base is 5 ft. If the lower base angles of the cross section are 50o and 65o, find the volume of material the dam contains. ?
