- A spherical tank has a radius of 175.0 in. Calculate the volume of the tank in cubic inches; then convert this to Imperial gallons. The volume of a sphere is (4/3) r3, where r is the radius. One Imperial gallon equals 277.4 in3.arrow_forwardWhat is the difference in surface area between two circles, one of radius 7.98 cm, the other of radius 8.50 cm? The surface area of a circle of radius r is r2. Obtain the result to the correct number of significant figures.arrow_forwardFor these questions, be sure to apply the rules for significant figures. a You are conducting an experiment where you need the volume of a box; you take the length, height, and width measurements and then multiply the values together to find the volume. You report the volume of the box as 0.310 m1. If two of your measurements were 0.7120 m and 0.52145 m, what was the other measurement? b If you were to add the two measurements from the first part of the problem to a third length measurement with the reported result of 1.509 m, what was the value of the third measurement?arrow_forward
