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 m3 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 |
