How much does a 50 ft section of 5 inch diameter fire hose weight?
109 lbs with no water
How much does a 100 ft section of 2.5 inch in diameter fire hose weigh with water?
That section of hose holds 25.5 gallons of water when it's full, which weighs about 213 pounds. To that, add the weight of the empty hose, which I don't know.
How much does a 50 ft section of 2.5 inch dia fire hose weigh with water?
If it's full of water, then the water in it weighs about 106.5 pounds. I have no way of knowing what the empty hose weighs by itself. Whatever it is, you'll need to add that to 106.5 pounds.
A two inch hose carries two times the volume of a one inch hose.?
All else being equal, a 2-inch hose carries 4 times the volume as a 1-inch hose.
How much water can a 50 ft section of 3 inch hose hold in gallons?
A water hose is a cylinder, and since the volume of a cylinder is pi*r^2*height, we can calculate the volume of the water hose by finding the radius and height. A 3 inch hose has a radius of 1.5 inches, and 50 ft is equal to 600 inches, so 1.5^2 is 2.25, and 2.25*600 is 1,350. Finally we multiply by Pi to get approximately 4,239 cubic inches. Since 1 cubic inch is equal to 0.00432 gallons, there are 18.3506 gallons.
