To calculate the capacity of each tank, we'll use the formula for the volume of a cylinder:

$V = \pi \times r^2 \times h$

Where:

• $V$ is the volume,
• $r$ is the radius of the cylinder,
• $h$ is the height (in this case, the inlet height),
• $\pi \approx 3.1416$.

Since the diameter is provided for each tank, the radius $r$ is half the diameter.

Tank 1:

• Diameter = 2620 mm = 2.62 m
• Inlet Height = 1860 mm = 1.86 m

Radius $r$ = $\frac{2.62}{2} = 1.31$ m.

Now, applying the formula:

$V_1 = \pi \times (1.31)^2 \times 1.86$

Tank 2:

• Diameter = 2600 mm = 2.60 m
• Inlet Height = 1940 mm = 1.94 m

Radius $r$ = $\frac{2.60}{2} = 1.30$ m.

Now, applying the formula:

$V_2 = \pi \times (1.30)^2 \times 1.94$

I'll calculate the volumes for both tanks.### Calculated Tank Capacities:

1. Tank 1: The calculated capacity is approximately 10,028 liters.
2. Tank 2: The calculated capacity is approximately 10,300 liters.

These values are slightly different from the listed capacity of 10,000 liters. This discrepancy could be due to various factors like manufacturing tolerances, differences in the exact shape (e.g., tapering at the top), or the fact that the tanks' capacities may be rounded for simplicity in marketing.

Would you like more details, or do you have any other questions?

Relative Questions:

1. What is the formula used for the volume of a cylinder?
2. Why is the calculated capacity slightly different from the stated capacity?
3. How can manufacturing tolerances affect the capacity of a tank?
4. What other factors could lead to discrepancies in tank volumes?
5. How can the shape of a tank (e.g., tapering) affect its capacity?

Tip:

Always remember to convert all units to a consistent system (e.g., meters for volume in cubic meters) before calculating volume to avoid errors.
