In a hospital used water is collected in a cylindrical tank of diameter $ 2 \mathrm{~m} $ and height $ 5 \mathrm{~m} $. After recycling, this water is used to irrigate a park of hospital whose length is $ 25 \mathrm{~m} $ and breadth is $ 20 \mathrm{~m} $. If tank is filled completely then what will be the height of standing water used for irrigating the park?


Given:

In a hospital used water is collected in a cylindrical tank of diameter \( 2 \mathrm{~m} \) and height \( 5 \mathrm{~m} \).

After recycling, this water is used to irrigate a park of hospital whose length is \( 25 \mathrm{~m} \) and breadth is \( 20 \mathrm{~m} \). 

The tank is filled completely.

To do: 

We have to find the height of standing water used for irrigating the park.

Solution:

Diameter of the cylinder $d= 2\ m$

This implies,

Radius of the cylinder $r = 1\ m$

Height of the cylinder $H = 5\ m$

Volume of the cylindrical tank $V_1 = \pi r^2H$

$= \pi \times 1^2 \times 5$

$= 5\pi\ m$

Length of the park $L = 25\ m$

Water from the tank is used to irrigate the park.

This implies,

Volume of the cylindrical tank $=$ Volume of the water in the park

$5 \pi = 25 \times 20 \times h$

$h=\frac{5 \pi}{25 \times 20}$

$h = \frac{\pi}{100}\ m$

$h = 0.0314\ m$

The height of standing water used for irrigating the park is $0.0314\ m$.
