You are looking for a tank to hold 5000 gallons. You have decided to place the tank inside an exisiting building , but the space in the building only allows for a maximum diameter of 12 foot. How tall will the tank need to be ????
---------------
With a 12 ft diameter base the area of a circular base will be (pi)12^2 sq ft.
---------
Formula of Volume of a cylinder with circular base = (pi)r^2h
----------
You want the Volume to be 5000 cu ft.
EQUATIOn:
5000 = (Pi)12^2h
h=5000/[144pi]
h=109.08 ht
The tank will need to be 109.08 ft high.
