Problema Solution
There are 3 steel rectangular Mud Pits on location. Each pit is (21'x10'x8') (L x W x D). Each pit contains (5) feet of mud. One oilfield barrel contains 5.6 feet3 (cubed) of mud.
A. What is the total pit capacity in barrels?
B. what is the Mud volume in barrels of one pit?
Answer provided by our tutors
According to question the voulme of each pit is 21*10*8=1680 cubic feet
volume of mud contained in each barrel=5.6 cubic feet
If the mud in pit is 5feet then the voulme of mud in the pit=21*10*5=1050cubic feet
Now the one pit capacity in barrels=1680/5.6=300 barrels 3pit capacity=300*3=900barrels
The Mud volume in barrels of one pit=1050/5.6=187.5 barrels
