Question 76333: A cylindrical tank with diameter 60cm and length 150cm rests on its side.
The fluid in the tank leaks from a valve that is 20cm off the ground. When
no more fluid leaks out , what is the volume of the remaining fluid?

1.) Find total volume of the tank:
d=diameter of tank, h=length of tank
V+=+.7854d%5E2h
V+=+.7854%2A%2860%5E2%29%2A%28150%29
V+=+.7854%2A%283600%29%2A%28150%29
V+=+424116+cc
2.) Find out the remaining fluid volume in the tank after it leaks out:
If the tank diameter is 60 cm, and the valve is 20 cm off the ground, then the volume can be expressed as a fraction.
20%2F60 = 1%2F3
Therefore, 1%2F3 of the total fluid volume will remain in the tank;
so, total_volume * 1/3 = remaining_volume
424116%2A1%2F3+=+141372+cc
