70% to passA tanker is loaded with 8,000 barrels of fuel oil. The temperature of the cargo is 50°F. API gravity is 37°. The volume correction factor (VCF) is .0005. What is the net amount in gallons of cargo loaded?
A
334,320
B
337,680
C
437,800
D
442,200
AI Explanation
The correct answer is B) 337,680 gallons. To calculate the net amount of cargo loaded, you need to use the formula: Volume (barrels) x VCF = Net Volume (gallons). Given the information provided: - Volume = 8,000 barrels - VCF = 0.0005 - Applying the formula: 8,000 barrels x 0.0005 = 4,000 gallons Therefore, the net amount of cargo loaded is 337,680 gallons (8,000 barrels x 42 gallons/barrel). The other options are incorrect because they do not accurately apply the given information and formula to calculate the net volume.
