    Total weight of the hot tub and water is 5676.6 pounds-force

    Explanation:

    rho = 62.4lbm/ft^3 * 1ft^3/7.481gal = 8.34lbm/gal

    Mass of water = rho * volume = 8.34lbm/gal * 600 gallons = 5004lbm = 5004*0.45359kg = 2269.8kg

    Total mass of hot tub and water = 320kg + 2269.8kg = 2589.8kg

    Local acceleration due to gravity = 32ft/s^2 = 32ft/s^2 * 1m/3.2808ft = 9.75m/s^2

    Total weight of hot tub and water = 2589.8kg * 9.75m/s^2 = 25250.55N = 25250.55/4.4482 lbf = 5676.6 lbf
