Answer:
8 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Dimension of rectangular container=
Water is filled up to a level 2 inches from the top.
As given that container is sitting on its largest face, then it is standing on
Which means the height of container is 6 inches and it ie filled with water up to 2 inches from the top.
∴ Height of water inside the container=
Now, finding the volume of water inside.
we know, Volume=
Volume=
Next, if container is placed in its smallest face then it is standing on and lets assume height to be "x"
Forming an equation now to express the volume conservation law.
⇒
⇒
dividing both side by 60
⇒
∴ x= 8 inches
Hence, 8 inches from the bottom will the water level reach if the container is placed on its smallest face
