Assignment Scoring Your best submission for each question part is used for your score. During a thunderstorm, a total of 2.5 inches of rain falls. How much water falls on one acre of land? (1 ml^2 = 640 acres) Express your answer in the following ways. (a) cubic inches (b) cubic feet (c) cubic meters (c) kilograms kg (Note that the density of water is 1000 kg/m3.)

Explanation / Answer

using these values

1 acre = 4046.86 m^2 = 43560 ft^2 = 6272640 in^2

2.5 in = 0.208 ft = 0.0635 m

Now Volume of rain will be

A.

in in^3

V = A*height = 6272640*2.5 = 15681600 in^3

B.

in ft^3

V = 43560*0.208 = 9060.48 ft^3

C.

in m^3

V = 4046.86*0.0635 = 256.98 m^3

D.

In kg

m = density*Volume

m = 1000*256.98

mass = 256980 kg
