A conoical funnel 12cm deep and 15cm in diameter is full of liquid.it is emptied into a cylindrical tin 10cm in diameter.calculate the height of the liquid in the tin

3 answers

just find h such that
π/3 (15/2)^2 * 12 = π*(10/2)^2 h
that is,
225π = 25π h
Volume in funnel = (1/3)π(7.5^2)(12) cm^3
Assume the height in the cylinder will be h cm
Volume in cylinder = π(5^2)h cm^3

so
π(5^2)h = (1/3)π(7.5^2)(12)
25h = 4(56.25)
h = 225/25 = 9 cm
You find the area and not the volume
