Math Problem Statement

A cylindrical water bottle containing water is 28 cm in diameter. How much is the water level lowered, when 1 litre is drawn off? [Take π = 22/7]

Solution

To determine how much the water level is lowered when 1 litre of water is drawn off, given the cylindrical bottle's diameter is 28 cm, we proceed as follows:


Given:

  • Diameter = 28 cm → Radius r=282=14cmr = \frac{28}{2} = 14 \, \text{cm}

  • Volume of water removed = 1 litre = 1000 cm³

  • Formula for the volume of a cylinder:
    V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h where VV is the volume, rr is the radius, and hh is the height (water level drop in this case).

  • π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}


Step 1: Rearrange the formula for hh (height)

We know the volume removed and the radius. Substituting into the formula:
V=πr2hV = \pi r^2 h Rearranging for hh:
h=Vπr2h = \frac{V}{\pi r^2}


Step 2: Substitute known values

  • V=1000cm3V = 1000 \, \text{cm}^3
  • r=14cmr = 14 \, \text{cm}
  • π=227\pi = \frac{22}{7}

Substitute these into the formula for hh:
h=1000227×142h = \frac{1000}{\frac{22}{7} \times 14^2}


Step 3: Simplify step-by-step

  1. Calculate r2r^2:
    142=19614^2 = 196
  2. Multiply π\pi and r2r^2:
    227×196=22×1967=43127=616\frac{22}{7} \times 196 = \frac{22 \times 196}{7} = \frac{4312}{7} = 616
  3. Divide the volume VV by this result:
    h=10006161.623cmh = \frac{1000}{616} \approx 1.623 \, \text{cm}

Final Answer:

The water level is lowered by approximately 1.62 cm.
