You are in charge of receiving a shipment of new packing (aka tower fill) for a benzene
stripping tower at work (see figures on the following pages for an example schematic of a
stripping tower and examples of tower fillI).
The packing for this specific tower is small spheres, with a radius of 1.5 inches.
What is the volume of one of the spheres in cubic feet?

- I want a quick solution, please fast, I don't have enough time Gas guns are used to investigate the properties of materi- als subjected to high-velocity impacts. A projectile is accelerated through the barrel of the gun by gas at high pressure. Assume that the acceleration of the projectile in m/s² is given by a = c/s, where s is the position of the projectile in the barrel in meters and c is a constant that depends on the initial gas pressure behind the projectile. The projectile starts from rest at s = 1.5 m and acceler- ates until it reaches the end of the barrel at s = 3 m.
