The volume of water in a spherical tank having a diameter of 4 m is 5.236 m3. Determine the depth of the water in the tank.
\n" ); document.write( "==========================
\n" ); document.write( "That's a spherical cap
\n" ); document.write( "\"Vol+=+pi%2Ah%5E2%283r+-+h%29%2F3\" -- an obvious formula?
\n" ); document.write( "Vol = 5.236
\n" ); document.write( "r = 2
\n" ); document.write( "--------------
\n" ); document.write( "\"5.236+=+pi%2Ah%5E2%286+-+h%29%2F3\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"6h%5E2+-+h%5E3+=+15.708%2Fpi+=+5\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%5E3+-+6h%5E2+%2B+5+=+0\"
\n" ); document.write( "h = 1 (by observation)
\n" ); document.write( "If it's not an obvious solution you have to solve the cubic.
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
