A cylindrical tank of radius 2 m and length 6 m lies on its side. Find the volume of liquid in it, in cubic meters, when the liquid is 1 m deep.

  1. 24
  2. 37.7
  3. 14.74
  4. 18.85

Answer

C. 14.74

Solution

The liquid forms a circular segment of height h=1: A=r2 -1r-h/r-(r-h)sqrt(2rh-h2)=4 -1(0.5)- 3=2.457 m2. V=2.457(6)=14.74 m3.
