Chapter 9, Problem 21CCSR

To determine

To determine the volume of water.

Answer to Problem 21CCSR

The volume of water is around $85{\text{ in}}^3$

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

Diameter = 6 in.

Height of water in cyclender is 3 in.

Volume of a cylinder is given by the formula $\pi r^{2}h$

Here,

  $\begin{array}{l}r=\frac{6}{2}=3\text{ in}\text{.}\\ h=3\text{in}\end{array}$

Put the values we get,

  $\begin{array}{l}V=\left(3.14\right){\left(3\right)}^2\left(3\right)\\ V=84.78{\text{ in}}^3\end{array}$

Hence the volume of water is around $85{\text{ in}}^3$
