The height of a particular type of container is directly proportional to the cube root of the volume of fluid it can contain. If a container with a height of 3.06 m can hold 15 m3 of fluid,
------
h = k*v^(1/3)
---------------------------
Solve for "k"::
3.06 = k*15^(1/3)
----
k = 3.06/15^(1/3) = 1.24
------
Equation:
h = 1.24*v^(1/3)
-----------------
what height of container would be needed to hold 30 m3 of fluid?
Ans: h = 1.24*30^(1/3) = 3.85 m
