First, we need to find the volume of the entire cylindrical oil tank.
The formula to calculate the volume of a cylinder is:
V = \pi r^2 h
We are given the diameter of the circular base (30 feet), so the radius \( r \) is:
r = \frac{30}{2} = 15 \, \text{feet}
The height of the tank is:
h = 60 \, \text{feet}
Now, calculate the volume of the entire tank:
V_{\text{total}} = \pi r^2 h = 3.14 \times 15^2 \times 60
V_{\text{total}} = 3.14 \times 225 \times 60
V_{\text{total}}=42390\,\text{cubic feet}
Next, we need to calculate the volume of oil already in the tank, given its depth (40 feet):
h_{\text{oil}} = 40 \, \text{feet}
The volume of the oil is:
V_{\text{oil}} = \pi r^2 h_{\text{oil}} = 3.14 \times 15^2 \times 40
V_{\text{oil}} = 3.14 \times 225 \times 40
V_{\text{oil}} = 28260 \, \text{cubic feet}
Finally, subtract the volume of oil from the total volume to find the remaining capacity:
V_{\text{remaining}} = V_{\text{total}} - V_{\text{oil}}
V_{\text{remaining}}=42390-28260
V_{\text{remaining}}=14130\,\text{cubic feet}
To ensure rounding to the nearest whole number, we get:
14130
Thus, the remaining capacity for more oil is:
14130\,\text{cubic feet}
