Water is flowing through a cylinderical pipe, of internal diameter 2 cm, into a cylinderical tank of base radius 40 cm, at the rate of 0.4 m/s. Determine the rise in level of water in the tank in half an hour.


Given: A cylinderical pipe of internal diameter=2cm and a cylinderical tank of base with radius =40cm. Rate of the flow of the water flowing in the pipe=0.4\ m/s$

To do: To determine the rise in level of water in the tank in half an hour.

Solution:
Diameter of circular end of pipe $=2\ cm$

Radius of circular end of pipe $r_{1} =\frac{diameter}{2} =\frac{2}{2} =1\ cm=\frac{1}{100} =0.01\ m$

Area of cross section$=\pi r^{2}_{1}$

$=\pi ( 0.01)^{2}$

$=0.0001\pi\ m^{2}$

Speed of water $=0.4\ m/s=0.4\times 60=24\ meter/min$

Volume of water that flows in 1 minute from pipe$=24\times 0.0001\pi$ 

$=0.0024\pi m^{3}$

Volume of water that flows in 30 minutes from pipe$=30\times 0.00024\pi$ 

$=0.072\pi m^{3}$

Radius $r_{2}$  of the base of cylindrical tank$=40\ cm=0.4\ m$

Let the cylindrical tank be filled up to h meter in 30 minutes.

Volume of water filled in tank in 30 minutes is equal to the volume of water flowed out

In 30 minutes from the pipe,

$\pi r^{2}_{2} h=0.072\pi$

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{0.072}{0.4^{2}}$

$\Rightarrow h=0.45\ m=45\ cm$

Therefore, The rise in level of water in the tank in half an hour is 45 cm.
