A solid cone of height 4cm and radius of base 3cm is lowered into a cylinder with a radius of 6cm, which contains water sufficient to submerged the cone completely.
Find the rise in the H2O level.
:
Find volume of the cone
V = 1%2F3pi%2A3%5E2%2A4
V = 37.7 cu/cm
:
Find the height of a 6 cm radius cylinder of water with a volume of 37.7 cu/cm
pi%2A6%5E2%2Ah = 37.7
113.1h = 37.7
h = 37.7/113.1
h = 1/3 cm is the rise of the water
