Solution
Let's break this problem down and solve it step by step:
Part (i):
We are asked to find the time taken to pour 300 liters of water into the cylindrical container at a rate of 375 ml per second.
-
Convert 300 liters to milliliters (since the pouring rate is in ml/sec): So,
-
The rate of pouring water is 375 ml/second, so the time taken in seconds can be calculated by dividing the total volume by the rate:
-
Convert 800 seconds into minutes and seconds:
Thus, the time taken is 13 minutes 20 seconds.
Part (ii):
Next, we are asked to calculate the height of the water in the container once all the water is poured in. The formula for the volume of a cylinder is: Where:
- is the volume of the water,
- is the radius of the base, which is 0.45 m,
- is the height of the water, which we need to find.
We know the total volume of water in the container is 300 liters (or 0.3 m³, since ).
- Rearrange the volume formula to solve for the height :
- Substitute the known values (, ):
Thus, the height of the water in the container is approximately 0.472 meters.
Do you want more details or have any questions about the solution?
Here are 5 related questions to expand your understanding:
- How would the time change if the rate of pouring were doubled to 750 ml/second?
- What would be the height of the water if only 150 liters were poured instead of 300 liters?
- How would the height change if the radius of the container were increased to 0.6 meters?
- What is the total surface area of the water's surface when it's fully poured into the container?
- How can the formula for the volume of a cylinder be derived from the concept of a circle?
Tip: Always ensure units are consistent when solving real-world problems. In this case, we converted liters to milliliters and meters when necessary.
