At a railway yard, locomotives are used to pull containers full of oil. a locomotive is chosen according to the volume of oil it can pull as shown in the table. consider a cylindrical container that needs pulling. it is 40 feet long and 12 feet in diameter. if one-half of the container is filled with oil, which locomotive should be selected to pull it? volume of oil in container
a450
0−750 cubic feet
cg35
750−1,500 cubic feet
br73
1,500−2,500 cubic feet
yh61
2,500−3,500 cubic feet

Option C. BR73 locomotive.

Step-by-step explanation:

A cylindrical container having radius =   feet

and length = 40 feet.

Volume of the container =

                                        =

                                        = x × ( 36 × 40 )

                                        = 4525.71 cubic feet

Since container is half filled so volume of the oil =  

                                                                                = 2262.86 feet³

From the given table BR73 locomotive will be used to pull the container.
