utorial Exercise A cylindrical tank with radius 4 m is being filled with water at a rate of 2 m3/min. How fast is the height of the water increasing (in m/min)

Respuesta :

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a cylinder is

ground area × height = pi×r²×h

r = 4

what we need to calculate is how high the water stands with one "serving" of 2m³.

that height is then added every minute (with the additional 2m³ during that minute).

so,

2 = pi×4²×h = pi×16×h

2/16 = 1/8 = pi×h

h = (1/8) / pi = 1/(8pi) = 0.039788736... m

that is rounded about 0.04 m or 4 cm.

therefore, the water rises by 0.04 m or 4 cm per minute

0.04m/min
