Water flows at 2 feet per second through a cylindrical pipe with a diameter of 8 inches.
A cylindrical tank with a diameter of 15 feet and a height of 6 feet collects the water.
What is the height (in inches) of water in the tank after 5 minutes?
Step 1: Amount of water flows in 5 minutes = water flowing per second
Diameter of collecting tank = 15 feet
Radius of collecting tank
Volume of collecting tank =
Step 2: Radius of collecting tank
Volume of collecting tank =
Hence the height is about 14.22 in
