document.write( "Question 1181778: A factory's pressure tank rests on the upper base of a vertical pipe whose inside diameter is 1 and 1/2 ft. and whose length is 40 ft. The tank is a vertical cylinder surmounted by a cone, and it has a hemispherical base. If the alti tudes of the cylinder and the cone are respectively 6 ft. and 3 ft. and if all three parts of the tank have an inside diameter of 6 ft., find the volume of water in the tank and pipe when full. \n" ); document.write( "
Algebra.Com's Answer #849965 by CPhill(1959)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! Here's how to calculate the total volume of water in the tank and pipe:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**1. Calculate the volume of the pipe:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* The pipe is a cylinder. \n" ); document.write( "* Pipe diameter = 1.5 ft, so the radius is 1.5 ft / 2 = 0.75 ft. \n" ); document.write( "* Pipe length (height) = 40 ft. \n" ); document.write( "* Volume of a cylinder = π * radius² * height \n" ); document.write( "* Pipe volume = π * (0.75 ft)² * 40 ft ≈ 70.69 ft³\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**2. Calculate the volume of the cylindrical part of the tank:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Tank diameter = 6 ft, so the radius is 6 ft / 2 = 3 ft. \n" ); document.write( "* Cylinder height = 6 ft. \n" ); document.write( "* Cylinder volume = π * (3 ft)² * 6 ft ≈ 169.65 ft³\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**3. Calculate the volume of the conical part of the tank:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Cone radius = 3 ft (same as the cylinder). \n" ); document.write( "* Cone height = 3 ft. \n" ); document.write( "* Volume of a cone = (1/3) * π * radius² * height \n" ); document.write( "* Cone volume = (1/3) * π * (3 ft)² * 3 ft ≈ 28.27 ft³\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**4. Calculate the volume of the hemispherical base:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Hemisphere radius = 3 ft (same as the cylinder and cone). \n" ); document.write( "* Volume of a hemisphere = (2/3) * π * radius³ \n" ); document.write( "* Hemisphere volume = (2/3) * π * (3 ft)³ ≈ 56.55 ft³\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**5. Calculate the total volume:**\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "* Total volume = Pipe volume + Cylinder volume + Cone volume + Hemisphere volume \n" ); document.write( "* Total volume ≈ 70.69 ft³ + 169.65 ft³ + 28.27 ft³ + 56.55 ft³ ≈ 325.16 ft³\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "**Therefore, the volume of water in the tank and pipe when full is approximately 325.16 cubic feet.** \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( " |
