A cylindrical tank has capacity of 5632 m3. Its diameter is 16 m. What...
To find the depth of the cylindrical tank, we can use the formula for the volume of a cylinder.
Volume of a Cylinder
The volume \( V \) of a cylinder is calculated using the formula:
\[ V = \pi r^2 h \]
Where:
- \( V \) = volume of the cylinder
- \( r \) = radius of the cylinder
- \( h \) = height (or depth) of the cylinder
Given Data
- Capacity \( V = 5632 \, m^3 \)
- Diameter \( d = 16 \, m \)
Calculating Radius
To find the radius, we use the diameter:
\[ r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8 \, m \]
Substituting Values
Now, we substitute the values into the volume formula:
\[ 5632 = \pi (8)^2 h \]
Calculating \( (8)^2 \):
\[ (8)^2 = 64 \]
So the equation becomes:
\[ 5632 = \pi \times 64 \times h \]
Solving for Depth (h)
Now, we isolate \( h \):
\[ h = \frac{5632}{\pi \times 64} \]
Using \( \pi \approx 3.14 \):
\[ h = \frac{5632}{3.14 \times 64} \]
Calculating \( 3.14 \times 64 \):
\[ 3.14 \times 64 \approx 200.96 \]
Now substituting back:
\[ h \approx \frac{5632}{200.96} \approx 28 \, m \]
Conclusion
Thus, the depth of the cylindrical tank is approximately 28 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C'.
