Answer:
area of suck = 1.28 × [tex]10^{10}[/tex] m²
Explanation:
given data
volume = 4 million barrels
thickness = 50 micrometers
barrel of oil = 160 liters
to find out
how much area would the resulting slick cover
solution
first we get here volume of oil that is here express as
volume of oil = 4 million × 160 liters
volume of oil = 4 × [tex]10^{6}[/tex] × 160 × [tex]10^{-3}[/tex] m³
volume of oil = 64 × [tex]10^{4}[/tex] m³
so area of suck is here as
area of suck = [tex]\frac{volume\ of\ thickness}{thickness}[/tex]
area of suck = [tex]\frac{64*10^4}{50*10^{-6}}[/tex]
area of suck = 1.28 × [tex]10^{10}[/tex] m²
