First, you must make all the units consistent. I chose to convert inches to feet. So, 1.38 inches equals 0.115 feet. Next, you must calculate the volume of water. To do that, multiply the three dimensions: 0.115 x 114 x 150 = 1966.5 cu ft. If we know how much a cubic foot of water weighs, we could directly calculate the weight of the water on the roof. But let's say that we only know the weight of a gallon of water. So, we must convert from cubic feet to gallons. A cubic foot of water contains 7.5 gallons. So, 1966.5 x 7.5 = 14748.75. Now, to calculate the weight, we multiply that figure by the weight of a single gallon of water, which is 8.34 pounds. So, 14748.75 x 8.34 = 123004.575, which we can round to 123,005 pounds. At first blush, that seems like a lot. But is it? Just to take this question a step beyond what the question asked, let's calculate the loading on the roof. The area of the roof is 114 x 150 = 17100 sq ft. If we divide the weight of the water by that amount, we can determine the load on the roof in pounds per square foot. So, 123005 / 17100 = 7.2 pounds per sq ft. That's less than the weight of one gallon per sq ft. Seems reasonable to me. Follow-up: I haven't done extensive research on this, so perhaps someone else will read this and modify it if it's wrong, but roofs are designed to withstand about 30 pounds per sq ft of loading due to snow or standing water. So, seven or eight pounds per sq ft should be no problem.
To find the weight of the rainwater on the roof, we first need to calculate the volume of rainwater that fell on the roof. The volume can be found by multiplying the area of the roof by the depth of rainwater. So, volume = 114 ft * 150 ft * 1.38 inches. Next, to find the weight of the rainwater, multiply the volume by the density of water (62.4 lbs/ft^3).
Yes
There are 12 inches in a foot, so a foot of rain would be 12 inches.
To convert rainfall from inches to gallons per minute, you need to know the area over which the rain is falling in square feet. Multiply the rainfall in inches by the area in square feet, then divide by 231 to convert to gallons. Finally, divide by the duration in minutes to get gallons per minute.
How much rain does the Atlantic Coastal Plan in North America receive annually? 4 inches 14 inches 10 inches 40 inches
Wetlands can get 59 to 100 or 150 centimeters of rain a year.
259200 cubic inches or precisely 150 cubic feet
The fluffiness of the snow can vary how deep it is compared to an inch of rain. On average, however, ten inches of snow is an inch of rain, so .04 inches of rain is similar to .4 inches of snow.
rain load is the weight of rain water
No. Rain is only in the form of water.
49 inches of snow is 4 feet 1 inch. 5 inches of very wet snow is equal to 1 inch of rain, and 15 inches of dry powder snow is equal to 1 inch of rain, so the average snowfall is equal to 10 inches equals 1 inch of rain. So 49 inches of snow would be equal to about 5 inches of rain.
Mandy Rain is five feet two inches according to IMDB.com.
Amazonia receives about 9 feet of rain every year. Fifty percent of this returns to the atmosphere through the foliage of trees. Most of the Amazon River's water comes from the annual snowmelt high in the Peruvian Andes. Between June and October, the water level rises by 30 to 45 feet. Tens of millions of acres of rainforest are covered by water as the flood advances, reaching as far inland from the main channel as 12 miles. Hope this helps!
On average we get 47.5 inches annually.

The answer depends on which part of Puerto Rico. Puerto Rico has rain forests in the northeast of the island which gets about 200 inches (16.667 feet) of rain a year. While the south central portion of the island gets about 36 inches (3 feet) of rain a year.
