Oil is stored in a tank at an oil refinery.
The tank is in the shape of a cylinder.
The tank has a diameter of 20 m.
The depth of the oil in the tank is 6 m.
The density of the oil is 800 kg per m^3.
Oil tankers can hold up to 45 000 kg of oil.
How many of these oil tankers are needed to empty all the oil from the tank?

volume of the oil in the tank = pi*r^2*h = 3.14*10^2*6 = 1884 cubic meters.
mass of the oil in the tank = volume x density = 1884 m^3 x 800 kg/m^3 = 1507200 kg.
45,000 kg/tanker x # tankers = 1507200 kg. Solve for # tankers
