The rain falls on a roof 20 m long and 16.5 m wide and the rainwater is allowed to be stored in a cylindrical tank 8 m in diameter. If it rains 8 cm on a day what is the rise in the water level of the tank due to it?
Given :
The rain falls on a roof 20m long and 16.5 m wide.
It rains 8 cm a day.
To do :
We have to find a rise in the water level.
Solution :
Volume of water collected $= 20 \times 16.5 \times 0.08 m^3 (8 cm = 0.08 m)$
$= 26.4 m^3$
The rainwater is allowed to be stored in a cylindrical tank 8 m in diameter.
Radius $= \frac{8}{2} m = 4 m$
Let the height of the water raised to be 'h' m.
This implies,
Volume of water in the cylindrical tank $= \frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 4 \times h m^3$
$\frac{1}{3} \times 3.14 \times 4 \times 4 \times h m^3 = 26.4 m^3$
$16.75 \times h = 26.4$
$h = \frac{26.4}{16.75}$
$h = 1.58 m$
The rise in the water level is 1.58 m.
