A well of diameter 14 metre is dug 15 M deep the earth taken out of it has been spread evenly all around it in the shape of a circular linked with 7 m to form an embankment find the height of the embankment
Answers
Solution :-
Both well and the embankment are in the shape of cylinder.
Since the mud is evenly spread all around the well to form the embankment, then the volume of well = volume of embankment
Volume of well = πr²h
Diameter = 14 m
then radius = 14/2 = 7 m
Height = 15 m
⇒ π*7*7*15
⇒ Volume of well = 735 π m³
Volume of the embankment -
The embankment is in the shape of a hollow cylinder.
It inner diameter = 14 m
So, Radius r = 14/2 = 7 m
Its outer radius R = inner radius + width
⇒ 7 + 7 = 14 m
Volume of inner part of the cylinder = πr²h
⇒ π(7)²*h
= 49 πh m³
Volume of the outer part of the cylinder = πR²h
⇒ π(14)²*h
⇒ 196 πh m³
Volume of embankment = Volume of outer part - Volume of inner part
⇒ 196 πh m³ - 49 πh m³
Volume of embankment = 147 πh m³
Now,
Volume of well = Volume of embankment
735 π m³ = 147 πh m³
⇒ h = 735/147
⇒ h = 5
So, the height of the embankment is 5 m
