Question

Water flows from a tank with a rectangular base measuring 80 cm by 70 cm into another tank with a square base of side 60 cm .If the water in first tank is 45 cm deep, How deep will it be in the second tank?

Solution

For same quantity of the water in both the tanks, volume of both the tanks must be same.

1) Volume of tank with rectangular base=
$${ V }_{ 1 }=l\times b\times { h }_{ 1 }$$
Where, $$l$$ = length of the rectangular base
$$b$$ = width of the rectangular base
$${ h }_{ 1 }$$ = height of the rectangular tank

$$\therefore { V }_{ 1 }=80\times 70\times 45$$

$$\therefore { V }_{ 1 }=252000\quad { cm }^{ 3 }$$

2) Let $$h$$ = height of the tank with square base
$$a$$ = side of the square base

Thus, volume of the tank with square base =
$${ V }_{ 2 }={ a }^{ 2 }\times { h }_{ 2 }$$

$$\therefore { V }_{ 2 }={ 60 }^{ 2 }\times { h }_{ 2 }$$

$$\therefore { V }_{ 2 }=3600\times { h }_{ 2 }$$

3) $${ V }_{ 1 }={ V }_{ 2 }$$
$$\therefore 252000=3600\times { h }_{ 2 }$$

$$\therefore { h }_{ 2 }=\frac { 252000 }{ 3600 } $$

$$\therefore { h }_{ 2 }=70\quad cm$$
