Rain on Football Field TOP

This example will help you understand the use of units and precision in UnitMath.

Find the amount of water on an U.S. football field ( 160 ft * 100 yards ), given that there is about an inch of rain on the field.

In UnitMath enter and evaluate:
100 yards * 160 ft * 1.0 inch as gallons ~ ( 28,426. to 31,418. ) gallons
100 yards * 160 ft * 1.0 inch * gram/cc as tons ~ ( 119. to 125. to 131. ) tons

Notes

• volume = length ( 100 yards ) * width (160 ft) * height ( 1.0 inch )
• mass = Volume * density (gram/cc)
• UnitMath equations include units and precision, and are easy to enter . "100 yard * 160 ft * 1.0 inch as gallons"
• UnitMath results show the correct range in your units. "~ ( 28,426. to 31,418. ) gallons" The "~" indicates that the answer has a range or can't be displayed exactly.
• UnitMath is unit independent so the water's density could be any of the following ( g/cc, 8.3 lb / gal, kg / liter, 62.4 lb / cu ft, oz / fluid_oz, lb/pt, ... ).

For an international soccer field, find the amount of water.

(110 to 120) yards * (70 to 80) yards * 1.0 inch as gallons ~ ( 41,040 to 56,553. ) gallons
(110 to 120) yards * (70 to 80) yards * 1.0 inch * g/cc as tons ~ ( 171. to 236. ) tons

• A generic international soccor field is between (110 to 120) yards long and (70 to 80) yards wide. Naturally you could get more precise dimensions, and therefore results for a specific field.
