Rain which falls onto a flat rectangular surface of length 6 m and width 4 m is collected in a cylinder of internal radius 20 cm. What is the depth of water in the cylinder after a storm in which 1 cm of rain fell? ​

\large\pink{\sf{Given:-}}

  • Length = 6m
  • Width = 4m
  • Height = 1cm
  • Internal Radius of cylinder = 20 cm


\large\purple{\sf{Solution:-}}


\tt \: volume = length * width * height


\tt \: volume = 6 * 4 * 1


\tt \: volume = 24m ^(3)

Volume of water in cylindrical vessel;


\sf\pi \: r ^(2) h

  • r = 20
  • h = ?
  • π = 22/7


\sf \: h = (volume)/(\pi r^(2) )


\sf \: h = (24 * 7)/(22 * 20 * 20)


\sf \: h = 0.190 \: cm

Therefore, The height of cylinder will be 0.190 I'm approximately...

Answer:

  • 1.91 m

Explanation:

The volume of water collected:

  • V = lwh
  • V = 6 m * 4m * 1 cm = 600* 400* 1 cm³ = 240000 cm³

Volume of cylinder:

  • V = πr²h

We have the values of V and r, find the value of h:

  • h = V/πr²
  • h = 240000 /(3.14*20²) = 191 cm = 1.91 m
