Question
Rain water which falls on a flat rectangular surface of length 6 cm and breadth 4 m is transferred into a cylindrical vessel of internal radius 20 cm. What will be the height of water in the cylindrical vessel if the rain fall is 1 cm? Give your answer to the nearest whole number. (Use
= 3.14)
Solution
Volume of rain water


Let the height of water in the cylindrical vessel be h cm, Then,
Volume of water in the cylindrical vessel = π(20)2 h cm3 According to the question,
