Algebra.Com's Answer #830332 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! A right circular cylindrical tank of radius 3 m and altitude 12 m rests on its element. The tank is partially filled with fuel oil, the greatest depth of the oil being 1 m . If the tank were to be raised up and made to rest upon one of its circular bases, how deep would the tank then be? \n" ); document.write( "Why \"greatest depth?\" \n" ); document.write( "Assuming it's uniform depth, and \"on its element\" means its axis is parallel to the ground: \n" ); document.write( "----------------- \n" ); document.write( "Find the volume of the oil: \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "Vol/12 = 3^2*arccos(2/3) - 2*sqrt(6 - 1) \n" ); document.write( "Vol/12 = 9*0.8410687 - 4.472136 \n" ); document.write( "Vol = 37.169788 cubic meters \n" ); document.write( "------------------- \n" ); document.write( "Vol standing on end = \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "1.3146 meters \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
