If 65 gallons of hydraulic oil weighs 350lb, what is the specific weight of the oil in lb/ft^3?

55.655 lb/ft³

Explanation:

Given data in question

oil weight i. e. w = 350 lb

oil volume i. e. v = 65 gallons = 6.68403 ft³

To find out

the specific weight of the oil

Solution

We know the specific weight formula is weight / volume

we have given both value so we will put weight and volume value in

specific weight formula i. e.

specific weight = weight / volume

specific weight = 372 / 6.68403 = 55.6550

specific weight = 55.655 lb/ft³
