A solid right circular cone of height 60 cm and radius 30 cm is dropped in a right circular cylinder full of water, of height 180 cm and radius 60 cm. Find the volume of water left in the cylinder, in cubic meters.

We have,
height of cone, h = 60 cm = 0.6 m
the base radius of cone, r = 30 cm = 0.3 m
the height of cylinder, H = 180 cm = 1.8 m
the base radius of the cylinder, R = 60 = 0.6 m
Now,
Volume of water left in the cylinder
Volume of the cone = 1/3 πr²h
= 1/3 π(0.3)²(0.6)
= 0.018π m³
volume of the cylinder = πR²H
= π(0.6)²(1.8)
= 0.648π m³
water left in cylinder = volume of the cylinder – volume of the cone
= 0.648π – 0.018π
= 1.98 m³
∴ volume of water left in the cylinder is 1.98 m³
