Investigate the volume capacity of a barrel of oil in galloons, cubic feet, cubic meters, and the volume capacity of a bushel of agricultural products in cubic inches, cubic feet, and cubic meters.

Answer to Problem 23P
The volume capacity of a barrel of oil in galloons, cubic feet, cubic meters is
Explanation of Solution
Volume capacity of the Barrel:
Barrel is the wooden container in the form of cylindrical shape. The wooden staves are used to make the barrel by rounding the staves using the hoops. The barrel is in curved shape and the structure is convex and bulges at the center of the barrel which is called as bilge. Such a shape is used to manufacture the barrel in order to roll it and make the roller to change the moving directions with little friction by comparing with the cylinder.
According to the U.S. standard, a barrel contains
Consider the following expression to calculate the value from gallons to cubic feet,
Consider the following expression to calculate the value from gallons to cubic meters,
Volume capacity of the Bushel:
Bushel is the US customary unit for the mass or weight which is based upon the measure of dry capacity. It is a unit of units used for measurement of agricultural products such as corn, beans, flaxseeds etc.
According to the U.S. standard, a bushel contains
Consider the following expression to calculate the value from dry gallons to cubic inches in dry capacity,
Consider the following expression to calculate the value from dry gallons to cubic feet,
Consider the following expression to calculate the value from dry gallons to cubic meters,
The volume capacity of a barrel of oil in galloons, cubic feet, cubic meters is
The barrel is the old unit to measure the volume of oil, fluid or dry barrels. It is used to measure the bulk amount of containers especially in U.S and U.K.
Bushel is the US customary unit of volume for the mass, used to measure the bulk range of mass in volume used specially in U.S and UK.
The relation in both volume units is
And
The American merchants are used to measure the products in Barrels and Bushels.
Conclusion:
Thus, the volume capacity of a barrel of oil in galloons, cubic feet, cubic meters is

- Given an existing two-story steel structure with interior columns spaced as shown in Fig.2. The columns are spaced at 18 ft in the North-South direction and at 30 ft in the East-West direction. An interior lower-story column is to be removed by adding newsteel girder as shown in Fig. 4. The floor dead loads and the roof dead loads are 70 psfand 18 psf respectively. The floor live loads and the roof live loads are 50 psf and20 psf respectively. All existing steel materials are ASTM A36 steel (Fy=36 ksi). Newgirder is ASTM A992 steel (Fy= 50 ksi). All columns are W8x31.
