A stone is thrown into a cylindrical water tank 2 feet in diameter, causing the water to rise 1.5 inches.
What is the volume of the stone?
:
Find the volume of a cylinder of water that is 1.5" high
:
Let's deal in cubic inches here.

radius = 12 inches
:
V = pi%2A12%5E2%2A1.5
V = 678.584 cu/inches, the volume of the stone
