Math Problem Statement
Solution
The problem in the image appears to involve a cylindrical tank from which water has been removed, and the goal is to calculate the drop in water level in the tank. Let's solve it step by step:
Given:
- Volume of water removed = =
- Radius of the cylindrical tank =
- Formula for volume of a cylinder = , where is the height (drop in water level).
- Use .
Step-by-Step Solution:
- Substitute known values into the volume formula:
Given , , and :
- Simplify step-by-step:
-
Calculate :
-
Substitute into the equation:
- Multiply and rearrange to solve for :
- First, multiply :
Now the equation becomes:
-
Multiply both sides by 7 to eliminate the denominator:
-
Solve for :
Simplify the fraction:
- Approximate the value:
Divide .
Final Answer:
The drop in water level is approximately:
Thus, the correct option is (b).
