Rain water, which falls on a flat rectangular surface of length $ 6 \mathrm{~m} $ and breadth $ 4 \mathrm{~m} $ is transferred into a cylindrical vessel of internal radius $ 20 \mathrm{~cm} $. What will be the height of water in the cylindrical vessel if a rainfall of $ 1 \mathrm{~cm} $ has fallen?
Given:
Rain water, which falls on a flat rectangular surface of length \( 6 \mathrm{~m} \) and breadth \( 4 \mathrm{~m} \) is transferred into a cylindrical vessel of internal radius \( 20 \mathrm{~cm} \).
A rainfall of \( 1 \mathrm{~cm} \) has fallen.
To do:
We have to find the height of water in the cylindrical vessel.
Solution:
Length of the rectangular surface $l=6 \mathrm{~m}$
Breadth of the rectangular surface $b=4 \mathrm{~m}$
Height of the water level $h=1 \mathrm{~cm}$
$=\frac{1}{100} \mathrm{~m}$
Therefore,
Volume of the rain water $=l b h$
$=6 \times 4 \times \frac{1}{100}$
$=0.24 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
Radius of the cylindrical vessel $r=20 \mathrm{~cm}$
Let the height of the water in the vessel be $h \mathrm{~cm}$.
This implies,
Volume of the water in the cylindrical vessel $=\pi r^{2} h$
$\pi r^{2} h=0.24 \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times(20)^{2} \times h=\frac{24}{100} \times(100)^{3}$
$\Rightarrow \frac{22}{7} \times 400 \times h=24 \times 10000$
$\Rightarrow h=\frac{24 \times 10000 \times 7}{22 \times 400}$
$\Rightarrow h=190.9$
$\Rightarrow h=191 \mathrm{~cm}$
The height of water in the cylindrical vessel is $191 \mathrm{~cm}$.
