The density of water is 1.00 g/mL. If your swimming pool holds 208,000 gallons of water, what is the weight of the water in a filled swimming pool in tons? (1 ton = 2000 lb). Hint: Look on your equation sheet for conversion factors

12.455≈12.5 tons

Explanation:

1 US gallon of water (gal) = 8.35 pounds of water (lb wt.)

so we divide 208,000 by 8.35 to covert to pounds

then divide the pounds by 2000 to convert to tons.

a pan containing water is placed in a positio n where it is exposed to a 10 mile per hour wind. the pan contains a uniform depth of 1.27 cm of water, is quite wide, and has a length of 2.44 m in the wind direction. the water in the pan is at a constant temperature of 15.5 °c.
