Water was poured into a cylindrical vessel to a level of 75 cm. What level will the water reach if it is poured into another cylindrical vessel, whose base radius is 5 times greater than that of the first?
The water contained in a cylindrical vessel has the shape of a cylinder 75 cm high.The volume of the cylinder is calculated by the formula:
V = π * R ^ 2 * h, where R is the radius of the base of the cylinder, h is the height of the cylinder.
When water is poured into another cylindrical vessel, the water also takes the shape of a cylinder. The radius of the second cylinder is 5R. Let’s designate the required height of the water column as N. Since the initial volume of water does not change, then:
π * R ^ 2 * h = π * (5R) ^ 2 * H;
R ^ 2 * h = 5R ^ 2 * H;
H = h / 25 = 75/25 = 5 (cm).
Answer: 5 cm.
