Question 3:
A 20 m deep well with diameter 7 m is dug and the earth from digging is evenly spread out to form a platform 22 m by 14 m. Find the height of the platform. [Use π = 22/7]
Answer:
The shape of the well will be cylindrical.
Depth (h) of well = 20 m
Radius (r) of circular end of well = 7/2 m
Area of platform = Length × Breadth = 22 × 14 m2
Let height of the platform = H
Volume of soil dug from the well will be equal to the volume of soil scattered on the platform.
Volume of soil from well = Volume of soil used to make such platform
π × r2 × h = Area of platform × Height of platform
Therefore, the height of such platform will be 2.5 m.
