Answer from: vnfrancis1353

Water flowing over a particular waterfall at a rate of 2.02 x 10⁵ ft³/s is equivalent to 4.95 × 10⁸ ton/day.

First, we will convert 2.02 x 10⁵ ft³/s to ton/s using the following conversion factors:

1 ft³ of water = 62.4 lb of water (this refers to the density of water).1 ton = 2200 lb

$\frac{2.02 \times 10^{5} ft^{3} }{s} \times \frac{62.4lb}{1ft^{3} } \times \frac{1ton}{2200lb} = 5.73 \times 10^{3} ton/s$

Then, we will convert 5.73 × 10³ ton/s to ton/day using the following conversion factors:

1 h = 3600 s1 day = 24 h

$\frac{ 5.73 \times 10^{3} ton}{s} \times \frac{3600s}{1h} \times \frac{24h}{1day} = 4.95 \times 10^{8} ton/day$

Water flowing over a particular waterfall at a rate of 2.02 x 10⁵ ft³/s is equivalent to 4.95 × 10⁸ ton/day.

Answer from: wbrandi118

Approximately 5.00 × 10⁸ tons per day. (Rounding error: less than 1.1%.)

Explanation:

How many cubic feet of water flows over this waterfall each day?

The question gives only the number of cubic feet of water that flows over each second. To find the volume for each day, start by finding the number of seconds in a day.

There are 60 seconds in a minute and 60 minutes in an hour. That translates to $60 \times 60$ seconds in an hour.

There are 24 hours in a day. Each hour contains $60 \times 60$ seconds. That means that there are $24 \times 60 \times 60$ seconds in a day.

$2.02 \times 10^{5}$ cubic feet of water flows over this waterfall every second. Therefore, $24 \times 60 \times 60\times 2.02 \times 10^{5}$ cubic feet of water flows over this waterfall every day.

The weight of one cubic foot of water is 62.4 pounds. The weight of $24 \times 60 \times 60\times 2.02 \times 10^{5}$ of cubic feet of water will be $24 \times 60 \times 60\times 2.02 \times 10^{5}\times 62.4$ pounds.

It takes 2,200 pounds to make a ton. $24 \times 60 \times 60\times 2.02 \times 10^{5}\times 62.4$ will translate to $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2200}\times 24 \times 60 \times 60\times 2.02 \times 10^{5}\times 62.4$ tons.

To calculate the rounding error, evaluate

$\displaystyle \frac{\text{Rounded Value} - \text{Actual Value}}{\text{Actual Value}}\times 100\%$ and drop the negative sign if there is one. Rounding the final result to $5.00\times 10^{5}$ gives a rounding error of approximately $1.0\%$ .
