To help with these questions, let's break down the given problem data and calculations.

The main steps involve:
1. Calculating volumes of cylinders for excavation (earth removed) and concrete required.
2. Adjusting diameters as specified in problem 15.
3. Converting to cubic yards in problem 16.

Let’s tackle each question one by one.

### 11. **Volume of Earth Excavated for Posts A and D**
Posts A and D have:
- Diameter of casing: 10 inches
- Depth: 3'3" = 3.25 feet

**Formula for the volume of a cylinder**:  
\[
V = \pi \times r^2 \times h
\]

Converting 10 inches diameter to radius in feet:
\[
r = \frac{10}{2} \times \frac{1}{12} = 0.4167 \text{ feet}
\]

**Volume for each post**:
\[
V = \pi \times (0.4167)^2 \times 3.25 \approx 1.77 \text{ cubic feet}
\]

For two posts (A and D), double the volume:
\[
2 \times 1.77 \approx 3.54 \text{ cubic feet}
\]

### 12. **Concrete Needed for Posts A and D**
Posts A and D have:
- Post diameter: 6 inches (radius = 0.25 feet)
- Depth: 3'3" = 3.25 feet

Concrete volume (difference between casing and post volumes):
1. **Casing volume (as above)**: 1.77 cubic feet
2. **Post volume**:
   \[
   V = \pi \times (0.25)^2 \times 3.25 \approx 0.64 \text{ cubic feet}
   \]
3. **Concrete volume**:
   \[
   1.77 - 0.64 \approx 1.13 \text{ cubic feet per post}
   \]
   For two posts:
   \[
   2 \times 1.13 \approx 2.26 \text{ cubic feet}
   \]

### 13. **Volume of Earth Excavated for Posts B and C**
Posts B and C have:
- Diameter of casing: 15 inches (radius = 0.625 feet)
- Depth: 4'6" = 4.5 feet

**Casing volume**:
\[
V = \pi \times (0.625)^2 \times 4.5 \approx 5.53 \text{ cubic feet}
\]

For both posts:
\[
2 \times 5.53 = 11.06 \text{ cubic feet}
\]

---

### 14. **Concrete Needed for Post B**
Post B:
- Post diameter: 10 inches (radius = 0.4167 feet)
- Depth: 4'6" = 4.5 feet

1. **Casing volume** (from above): 5.53 cubic feet
2. **Post volume**:
   \[
   V = \pi \times (0.4167)^2 \times 4.5 \approx 2.46 \text{ cubic feet}
   \]
3. **Concrete volume**:
   \[
   5.53 - 2.46 \approx 3.07 \text{ cubic feet}
   \]

### 15. **Concrete Needed for Changed Diameters**
- Posts A and D change to **8 inches diameter** (radius = 0.333 feet).
- Posts B and C change to **12 inches diameter** (radius = 0.5 feet).

**Calculations**:
1. Recalculate post volumes with the new diameters and subtract from casing volumes.

---

### 16. **Rock Fill Needed for Four Wells**
1. Convert each well volume to cubic feet.
2. Then convert cubic feet to cubic yards (1 cubic yard = 27 cubic feet).

#### Follow-Up Questions:
1. How is the volume of a cylinder calculated, and why is it useful here?
2. What are the steps for converting diameters from inches to feet?
3. Why do we subtract post volume from casing volume for concrete calculations?
4. What changes in calculations are needed for problem 15 with new diameters?
5. How is the conversion between cubic feet and cubic yards done?

#### Tip:
When working with units, double-check all conversions, especially when switching between inches, feet, and yards.

How many cubic feet of earth are excavated, and how much concrete is needed for posts A, B, C, and D based on provided dimensions? Additional queries include changes to post diameters and calculating rock fill for wells.
