A cylindrical vessel with internal diameter 10 cm and height 10.5 cm is full of water. A solid cone of base diameter 7 cm and height 6 cm is completely immersed in water. Find the value of water (i) displaced out of the cylinder. (ii) left in the cylinder.

Given internal radius (r1) = 10/2 = 5 cm


Height of cylindrical vessel (h) = 10.5 cm


Outer radius of cylindrical vessel (r2) = 7/2 = 3.5 cm


Length of cone (l) = 6 cm


(i)Volume of water displaced = Volume of cone


Volume of cone =


=


= 76.9 cm3


≈ 77 cm3


Volume of water displayed = 77 cm3


Volume of cylinder = πr2h


= π(5)210.5


= 824.6


≈ 825


(ii)Volume of water left in cylinder = Volume of cylinder – Volume of cone


= 825 -77 = 748 cm3
