Given the quantity of corn syrup (d = 1.4 kg L^-1) needed for many industries. It should be no surprise that this product is often transported from place to place in tank cars (via railway) where the typical transport mass is 2.290 x 10^5lbs. In the space provided below, calculated the diameter in (meters) of such a tank car's 11.12m long-cylindrical transport container.

Question

High fructose corn syrup is a sweetener found in everyday food items especially carbonated beverages. It is derived from the "fruit" of corn using a bioprocess that degrades corn starch into its constituent sugars. Given the quantity of corn syrup (d = 1.4 kg L^-1) needed for many industries. It should be no surprise that this product is often transported from place to place in tank cars (via railway) where the typical transport mass is 2.290 x 10^5lbs. In the space provided below, calculated the diameter in (meters) of such a tank car's 11.12m long-cylindrical transport container. 

Recall that 1 gal =3.785 L, kg= 2.205lbs, and 1cm^3 =exactly 1mL
