Container weight = 100 lbs. If a gallon of liquid is 5 lbs and a 100 gallon container is missing 5 gallons how much would the container weigh?

Would it change if the container was in different shapes? Cylinder or rectangle? Could volume effect the weight?

Total weight is 575 pounds.

There's an answer based upon the basics. Now will it change in a cylindrical container compared to a rectangular and also weight distribution to the scale? That's the real question algebra but the physics that can manipulate it. Is our math in correct?

Lol we are at the limit of my math and physics.

I'll leave you to the difficult parts.
