​A barrel of crude oil contains about 5.61 cubic feet of oil. How many barrels of oil are contained in 1 mile [5280ft] of a pipeline that has an inside diameter of 6 inches and is completely filled with oil.? How much is "1 mile" of oil in this pipeline with at a price of $100.00 per barrel?

internal cross-sectional area of the pipe:

A = pi/4 * (D_o² - D_i²)

where:

D_o² = outside diameter

D_i² = inside diameter

Volume = A * Length
