To calculate the capacity (volume) of the water tank, we need to use the formula for the volume of a cylinder. The volume of a cylinder is given by the formula V = πr^2h, where π is the mathematical constant pi (approximately 3.14), r is the radius of the cylinder's base, and h is the height of the cylinder.
We are given the diameter of the tank, which is 3.5m. The radius (r) of the tank can be calculated by dividing the diameter by 2. So, the radius of the tank is 3.5m / 2 = 1.75m.
The height of the tank is given as 5m (h = 5m).
Now, let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate the volume:
V = πr^2h
V = 3.14 * (1.75m)^2 * 5m
Calculating this expression, we get:
V ≈ 3.14 * 3.0625m^2 * 5m
V ≈ 48.2m^3
Therefore, the capacity (volume) of the water tank is approximately 48.2 cubic meters.
