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( "\"Vol%2F12+=+r%5E2%2Aarccos%28%28r-h%29%2Fr%29+-+%28r-h%29%2Asqrt%282rh+-+h%5E2%29\" --- From CRC tables
\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 = \"pi%2Ar%5E2%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h+=+Vol%2F%28pi%2Ar%5E2%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "1.3146 meters
