Given data,
radius of cylindrical pipe , r = 1cm
radius of cylindrical tank , R = 40cm
water is flowing through a cylindrical pipe into cylindrical tank at the rate of 40cm/s.
length of water through pipe , l= rate × time taken
= 40cm/s × 1/2 hr
= 40cm/s × 30 × 60
= 40 × 1800 cm
= 72000 cm
volume of water flows through pipe = volume of water rise in cylindrical tank
πr² × l = πR² × h
(1)² × 72000 = (40)² × h
72000 = 1600 × h
h = 720/16
h = 45 cm
∴ 45 cm rise in the level of water in the rank in half an hour
