Water flowing into a hemispherical tank of 5m radius at a rate of ((3m^3)/(hr))
Determine the rate at which the depth of water increases.
The volume of a spherical cap of height y on a sphere of radius 5 is
v = 1/3 pi y^2 (15-y)
dv/dt = pi y(10-y) dy/dt
3 = pi y(10-y) dy/dt
Since you haven't specified depth of the water when determining the measurement, this is as far as we can go for now.
To determine the rate at which the depth of water increases, we need to find the rate at which the volume of the water in the tank is increasing.
The volume of a hemispherical tank can be calculated using the formula:
V = (2/3) * π * r^3
Where V is the volume and r is the radius of the tank.
Given that the radius of the tank is 5m and the water is flowing into the tank at a rate of (3m^3/hr), we can substitute these values into the volume formula:
V = (2/3) * π * (5^3)
V = (2/3) * π * 125
V = (250/3) * π ≈ 261.79m^3
Since we know that the water is flowing into the tank at a rate of (3m^3/hr), the rate at which the volume of the water in the tank is increasing is 3m^3/hr.
Now, let's find the rate at which the depth of water increases. The depth of water in the tank can be considered as the height of the cylindrical part of the tank.
The volume of a cylinder can be calculated using the formula:
V = π * r^2 * h
Where V is the volume, r is the radius of the cylindrical part of the tank, and h is the height of the cylindrical part of the tank.
Since the tank is a hemisphere, the radius of the cylindrical part is the same as the radius of the tank, which is 5m.
We can rearrange the formula to solve for h:
h = V / (π * r^2)
Substituting the values into the formula, we get:
h = (261.79) / (π * (5^2))
h = (261.79) / (π * 25)
h ≈ 1.05m
Therefore, the rate at which the depth of water increases is approximately 1.05 meters per hour.
