Question -

Rain water, which falls on a flat rectangular surface of length 6 m and breadth 4 m is transferred into a cylindrical vessel of internal radius 20 cm .What will be the height of water in the cylindrical vessel if a rainfall of 1 cm has fallen?



Answer -

Given,

Length of therectangular surface = 6 m = 600 cm

Breadth of therectangular surface = 4 m = 400 cm

Height of theperceived rain = 1 cm

So,

Volume of therectangular surface = length * breadth * height

= 600*400*1 cm3

= 240000 cm3  ……………..(i)

Also given,

Radius of thecylindrical vessel = 20 cm

Let the height of thecylindrical vessel be taken as h cm

We know that,

Volume of thecylindrical vessel = π × r2 × h

= π × 202 ×h  ……….. (ii)

As all the rain wateris transferred to the cylindrical vessel

We can equate both (i)and (ii) for equal volumes,

240000 = π × 202 ×h

h = 190.9 cm

Therefore, the heightof the cylindrical vessel nearly 191 cm.
