Question 61238
A water storage tank is shaped like a circular cylinder with half of a sphere at each end.Find the volume of the tank if the cylindrical section is 100cm long with a 40cm diameter.Use 3.14for pi.Round the final answer to two decimal places.
You have a sphere and a cylindar:
For a sphere the volume is {{{highlight(V=(4/3)*pi*r^3)}}}
For a cylindar the volume is {{{highlight(V=pi*r^2*h)}}}
d=40
pi=3.14
h=100
r=d/2=40/2=20
Units for volume: cm^3
{{{V=(4/3)(3.14)(20)^3+(3.14)*(20)^2*(100)}}}
{{{V=33493.33+125600}}}
{{{V=159093.33cm^3}}}
Happy Calculating!!!
