Problem 1
Counting 38 cu. ft. of coal to a ton, how many tons will a
coal bin 19 ft. long, 6 ft. wide, and 9 ft. deep contain,
when level full?
Solution 1
Volume of coal bin
V=19(6)(9)V=19(6)(9)
V=1026 ft3V=1026 ft3
Weight 1026 ft3 coal
W=1 ton38 ft3(1026 ft3)W=1 ton38 ft3(1026 ft3)
W=27 tonsW=27 tons
answer
Problem 2
Compute the cost of lumber necessary to resurface a footbridge
16 ft. wide and 150 ft. long with 2-in. planks, if lumber is $40 per
1000 board feet. Neglect waste. (One board foot = 1 ft. by 1 ft. by
1 in.)
Solution 2
Required board feet
V=16(150)(2) ft2\middotin1(1)(1) ft2\middotin/board ft.V=16(150)
(2) ft2\middotin1(1)(1) ft2\middotin/board ft.

Volume of the pile

Vpile=7(36)(12)Vpile=7(36)(12)
Vpile=3024 ft3Vpile=3024 ft3
Volume of one brick

Vbrick=2/12(4/12)(9/12)Vbrick=212(412)(912)
Vbrick=1/24 ft3Vbrick=124 ft3
Number of bricks in the pile

=Vpile/Vbrick=VpileVbrick
=3024/1/24=3024124
=72576 bricks=72576 bricks

answer

Volume of 1 die:

V1=(1/4) 3

V1=(1/4)3

V1=1/64 in3

V1=1/64 in3

Volume of 24,000 dice

V=24000V1

V=24000V1

V=24000(1/64)
V=375 in3

V=24000(1/64)

V=375 in3

What is the weight of a block of ice 24 in. by 24 in. by 24 in., if ice

Unit weight of water

water=62.5 lb/f 3 water=62.5 lb/ft3


Unit weight of ice

ice=92%water ice=92%water
ice=0.92(62.5) ice=0.92(62.5)
ice=57.5 lb/ft3 ice=57.5 lb/ft3
Volume of ice block

Vice=(24/12)3 Vice=(24/12)3
Vice=8 ft3 Vice=8 ft3
Weight of 8 ft3 ice block

Wice=iceViceWice=iceVice
Wice=57.5(8)Wice=57.5(8)
