Question

13 A cylindrical iron rod 8 cm high and 6 cm in diameter stands in a cylindrical tin 12 cm in diameter. See Fig. 15.22. Water is poured into the tin until its depth is 8 cm. How far would the level drop when the rod is removed?​

Answer 1

the correct answer is 2 cm

Answer 2

2cm

Explanation:

The volume of water displaced by the rod is

v = πr^2 h = π * 3^2 * 8 = 72π cm^3

The drop in water level is the rod volume divided by the cross-section area of the tin, or

72π/(π*6^2) = 2 cm
