Question
The volume of a cylindrical tank of radius $r$ and height $h$ is given by$$V=f(r, h)=\pi r^{2} h$$Find the volume of a cylindrical tank of radius $1.5 \mathrm{ft}$ and height $4 \mathrm{ft}$.
Step 1
The radius is given as $1.5 \mathrm{ft}$ and the height is given as $4 \mathrm{ft}$. So, we have: $$V=f(1.5, 4)=\pi (1.5)^{2} (4)$$ Show more…

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 $V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$.]
