Water flows at a rate of 8000 cubic inches per minute into a cylindrical tank. The tank has a diameter of 128 inches and a heigh
1 answer:
Answer:
The height of the water = 6.2 in. to the nearest tenth
Step-by-step explanation:
∵ The rate of flows of water into the tank = 8000 in.³/min.
∴ The volume of the water in the tank after 10 min. = 8000 × 10 = 80000 in.³
∵ The water take the shape of the tank
∴ The height of the water = volume of water ÷ Area of the base of the tank
∵ The tank is cylinder with diameter 128 in. and height 72 in.
∴ The area of the base of the tank = π(128/2)²
∴ The height of the water =
∴ The height of the water = 6.2 in. to the nearest tenth
