The rain water from a roof of dimensions 22 m x 20 m drains into a cylindrical vessel having diameter of base 2 m and height; 3.5 m. If the rain water collected from the roof just fill the cylindrical vessel, then find the rainfall in cm.

Given dimensions of the cylindrical vessel = 22 m × 20 m
Let the rainfall be x cm.
Volume of water = (22×20×x)m3
Diameter of the cylindrical base = 2 m
So radius of the cylindrical base = 2/2 = 1 m
Height of the cylindrical base, h = 3.5 m
Volume of cylindrical vessel = r2h
= (22/7)×12×3.5
= 11 m3
Since the rain water collected from the roof just fill the cylindrical vessel, the volumes are equal.
22×20×x = 11
x = 11/22×20
= 1/40 m
= (1/40)×100 cm
= 2.5 cm
Hence the rainfall is 2.5 cm.
