document.write( "Question 972918: A rectangular tank has a base 60cm by 20cm. A solid metal pyramid with a square base of sides 10cm each and height 27cm is placed inside the tank . The tank is then filled with water until it just covers the pyramid. If the pyramid is removed, calculate the fall in the level of water in the tank. \n" ); document.write( "

\n" ); document.write( "For pyramid:
\n" ); document.write( "a=side of square base; h=height; V=volume
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=%281%2F3%29a%5E2h\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=%281%2F3%29%2810cm%29%5E2%2827cm%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"V=900cm%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "For tank:
\n" ); document.write( "Volume per mm height=(60cm)(20cm)(0.1cm/mm)=120cm^3/mm
\n" ); document.write( ".
\n" ); document.write( "Fall in level (mm)=\"900cm%5E3%2F120cm%5E3%2Fmm=7.5mm\"
\n" ); document.write( "Fall in level=7.5mm
\n" ); document.write( "
