A conical vessel is full of water with radius 10 cm and height 54 cm. The water of the vessel poured into a cylindrical vessel having the base radius 15 cm. What will be the depth of the water in the cylindrical vessel? (Assume no water wasted)
A conical vessel is full of water with radius 10 cm and height 54 cm. The water of the vessel poured into a cylindrical vessel having the base radius 15 cm. What will be the depth of the water in the cylindrical vessel? (Assume no water wasted) Correct Answer 8
Given:
The radius of the conical vessel is 10 cm and the height of the vessel is 54 cm.
The radius of the cylindrical vessel is 15 cm.
Concept Used:
If the radius of a cone is ‘r’ cm and height of the cone is ‘h’ then the volume of the cone is (1/3)πr2h
If the radius of the cylinder is ‘r’ and height is ‘h’ then the volume of the cylinder is πr2h
Calculation:
The volume of the water in the conical vessel is (1/3)π × 102 × 54
Let, the depth of water in the cylindrical vessel will be h
The volume of water in the cylindrical vessel is π × 152 × h
Accordingly,
(1/3)π × 102 × 54 = π × 152 × h
⇒ 102 × 18 = 152 × h
⇒ h = (10 × 10 × 18)/(15 × 15)
⇒ h = 8
∴ The depth of the water in the cylindrical vessel will be 8 cm.
