Water flows from a cylindrical tank at a constant rate of 10 mL per second.
\n" ); document.write( " The height of the tank is 1.2 metres.
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "a) Find the radius of the tank to the nearest cm if it takes 3 days to empty the tank.
\n" ); document.write( "Find the volume of water, in liters, flowing at 10 ml/sec for 3 days
\n" ); document.write( "V = \"%283%2A24%2A3600%2A10%29%2F1000\"
\n" ); document.write( "V = 2592 liters
\n" ); document.write( "Change to cubic meters
\n" ); document.write( "\"2592%2F1000\" = 2.592 cu/meters
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "Assuming the tank is exactly full. Find the radius with this vol of water
\n" ); document.write( "\"pi%2Ar%5E2%2A1.2\" = 2.592
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = \"2.592%2F%281.2%2Api%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r^2 = .68755
\n" ); document.write( "r = \"sqrt%28.68755%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "r = .83 meters is the radius of the tank
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( ":
\n" ); document.write( "b) The tank needs to be transported and is placed in a fitted rectangular box. Find the dimensions and volume of the box required.
\n" ); document.write( "The box has to be at least as the diameter and height
\n" ); document.write( "2*.83 = 1.63 mwide
\n" ); document.write( "and
\n" ); document.write( "1.2 m = the length
\n" ); document.write( "
