A cylindrical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of 225 liters per minute. How much time will it take to empty half the tank, if the diameter of its base is 3 m and its height is 3.5 m?[ use π \(\frac{22}7\)].

Answer»

Diameter of the cylindrical base = 3 m 

∴ Radius of cylindrical tank \(\frac{3}2\) m 

= 1.5 m 

Height of the tank = 3.5 m 

Volume of the tank = πr2h

= π x 1.52 x 3.5 = \((\frac{22}{7})\) x 1.5 x 1.5 x 3.5

= 24.75 m

Now, 

1 m3 = 1000 liters 

24.75 m3 = 1000 × 24.75 liters 

= 24750 liters 

Full quantity of the water when it is full = 24750 m3 

Quantity of water when it is half filled = \(\frac{24750}2\) liters 

= 12375 liters 

Time taken by it to empty 225 liters 0f water = 1 minute 

∴ Time taken by it empty 12375 litersof water = \(\frac{12375}{225}\) minutes 

= 55 minutes
