Answer:
31.5 in
Step-by-step explanation:
- Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3)
r³
(where r is the radius) - Volume of a cylinder =
(where r is the radius and h is the height) - radius r = (1/2) diameter
First, find the volume of the scoop using the volume of a hemisphere formula with r = 21:
Volume = (2/3) x 21³ = 6174
in³
Now equate the found volume of the scoop to the equation of the volume of a cylinder with r = 14, and solve for h:
14²h = 6174
196h = 6174
Divide both sides by : 196h = 6174
Divide both sides by 196: h = 31.5
Therefore, the height of the molten steel in the storage tank is 31.5 in
