You are designing spherical tank to hold water for small village. The volume of liquid it can hold can be computed as V = πh²(R - h/3) where V = volume [m³], h = depth of water in tank [m], and R = the tank radius [m]. Use Newton Raphson method with 2 iterations to find the height (h=?) for storing 28 m³ of water with 11 m diameter-tank. Take π = 3.1416 and initial guess for h=R. Choices 4.51422 8.863 1.7412

Filling a Conical Tank Water is poured into a container in the shape of a right circular cone with radius 4 feet and height 16 feet. See the figure. Express the volume $V$ of the water in the cone as a function of the height $h$ of the water. [Hint: The volume $V$ of a cone of radius $r$ and height $h$ is $V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$.]

A cylindrical tank filled with water has height $h$ and a base of area $A$. Water leaks through a hole in the bottom of area $B$. (a) Show that the time required for the tank to empty is proportional to $A \sqrt{h} / B$ (b) Show that the emptying time is proportional to $V h^{-1 / 2}$, where $V$ is the volume of the tank. (c) Two tanks have the same volume and a hole of the same size, but they have different heights and bases. Which tank empties first: the taller or the shorter $\tan k$ ?
