Question

A cylindrical tank of height 3 units and diameter 2 units, resting on its base, is partially filled with water up to a height h units. Thereafter it is turned horizontal and placed on a level ground with its lateral surface in contact with the ground. In this position, the maximum depth of water is units. Then h is

Answer 1

Answer:

H = 0.75 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of cylinder = πR^2H

R = 1 , H=3

volume of cylinder = π× 1^2 × 3

= 3π

volume of water = πr^2h

r =1

volume of water = πh

now,

when this container turned horizontal it fills at depth 1/2 units which is half of the radius

it means it fills 1/4 of total volume of cylinder

therefore , 3π /4 = πh

h = 3 /4 = 0.75 units
