Question

A cylindrical container with diameter of base 42 cm contains sufficient water to submerge a rectangular solid of iron with dimensions 22 cm × 14 cm × 10.5 cm. Find the rise in level of the water when the solid is submerged.

Solution

When the solid is submerged in water it displaces its own volume.

The volume of the rectangular block is :

Volume = Length × Width × height
Volume = 22 × 14 × 10.5 = 3234 cm3

The volume of a cylinder =πr2h

The rise in height is :

3234 = 22 over 7 cross times 42 over 2 × h

3234 = 22 over 7 × 21 × h

3234 = 66h

h = 3234 over 66

h = 49 cm

The water rises by 49 cm
