  1. 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
