The circular base of a cylindrical water tank has an area of 1 metre squared.
\n" ); document.write( " A solid cube with edges of length 20cm is dropped beneath the surface of the water.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume of the solid cube 20^3 = 8000 cu/cm
\n" ); document.write( "we assume it will displace 8000 cu/cm of water.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( " What is the resulting increase in the height of the water level in cm?
\n" ); document.write( "let h = the height increase of the water in this cylinder (in cm)
\n" ); document.write( "Change 1 sq/meter to sq/cm 100^2 = 10000 sq/cm
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "The area of the base (in cm) * height = 8000
\n" ); document.write( "10000h = 8000\
\n" ); document.write( "h = 8000/10000
\n" ); document.write( "h = .8 cm increase in water level \n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
