The formula to calculate the Gallons per Foot (G) is:
\[ G = \frac{V}{L} \]
Where:
Let's say the volume (V) is 100 gallons and the length (L) is 20 feet. Using the formula:
\[ G = \frac{100}{20} = 5 \text{ gallons/foot} \]
So, the gallons per foot is 5 gallons/foot.
Gallons per foot is a measure of the volume of liquid in gallons that is contained in a one-foot length of a container or pipe. This measurement is useful in various applications, such as determining the capacity of a tank, pipe, or other container based on its length. It helps in understanding how much liquid can be stored or transported per unit length, which is essential for various engineering, construction, and fluid management tasks.
Definition: Calculating the number of gallons per square foot helps determine the volume of liquid spread over a given area.
Formula: \( \text{Gallons per Square Foot} = \frac{\text{Gallons}}{\text{Square Feet}} \)
Example: \( \text{Gallons per Square Foot} = \frac{50}{200} \)
Definition: Calculating the number of gallons per cubic foot helps determine the volume of liquid in a given space.
Formula: \( \text{Gallons per Cubic Foot} = \frac{\text{Gallons}}{\text{Cubic Feet}} \)
Example: \( \text{Gallons per Cubic Foot} = \frac{100}{10} \)
Definition: Calculating the number of gallons per acre-foot helps determine the volume of water in an acre-foot of space.
Formula: \( \text{Gallons per Acre Foot} = \text{Acre Feet} \times 325,851 \)
Example: \( \text{Gallons per Acre Foot} = 2 \times 325,851 \)
