A cylindrical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of 225 litres per minute. How much time will it take to empty half the tank, if the diameter of its base is 3m and its height is 3.5m? (Use π=22/7)

Solution
Volume of cylindrical tank= πr2h=π×(1.52)×3.5=24.75m3=24750litres
Rate of discharge or outflow =225l/min
Time taken to empty the tank=24750225=110mins=1hr50mins
