Cessna P-210G needs to be modified so it will carry 100 gallons more fuel than a standard P-210G. You are told to make 2 fuel tanks that will fit in the wings (50 gallons each). You know from previous experience that the distance between the fore and aft spar is 4' 6 1/2" and the wing is 11 3/4' thick. How wide must each tank be? (Note: there are 231 cu. in. per gallon).
