Answer 2

Answer:

Height of the tank is 0.025 m

Step-by-step explanation:

A overhead water tanker is in the shape of a cylinder has capacity of 616 liters. The diameter of the tank is 5.6 m.

Given : Volume of cylinder = 616 liters.

Diameter of cylinder = 5.6 m

Therefore, Radius is half the diameter.

⇒ radius = 2.8 m

We know, 1 m³ = 100 liters

Thus, 616 liters = 0.616 m³

$\text{Volume of cylinder}=\pi r^2h$

Substitute the known values, we get,

$0.616=\pi (2.8)^2 \cdot h$

Solve for h,

$h=\frac{0.616}{\pi (2.8)^2}$

Using $\pi=3.14$

$h=\frac{0.616}{3.14 \cdot 7.84}$

$h=\frac{0.616}{24.62}$

$h=0.025$

Thus, Height of the tank is 0.025 m.
