Question

1)A cylindrical container has a diameter has diameter of 14cm and height of 20cm and is full of water. A student pours the water into another cylinder of diameter 20cm. How deep is the water in the second cylinder?

2)A cylindrical water tank is70cm in diameter. To begin with, it is full of water. A leak starts at the bottom so that it loses 10l of water every hour. How long will it take for the water level to fall by 20cm?

3) A cylindrical storage vessel is 4m in diameter and 31/2m deep. How many kilolitres will it hold?​

Answer 1

Hey there!

1) To solve this, we want to know the volume of the first cylinder, which using the cylinder volume formula, we find is roughly 3079 cm^3. If the water is poured into the second cylinder, we find that the height is about 9.8 cm.

2) First, we should know that 1000 cm^3=1 liter. Volume of 1 cm tank height: 3848 cm^3, or 3.848 l. Volume for 20 cm tank height= 76.96 l. It takes about 7.7 hrs for the water level to fall 20 cm.

3) Cylinder volume formula gives us the answer to be 176 m^3 as the volume.

Hope this helps :)
