Problem
A cylindrical underground tank is to be filled with water from a single tap.
• Inner radius of the tank = 1.2 m
• Height of the tank = 2.5 m
• The tap discharges water at the constant rate of 600 L per minute.
Assuming the tank is initially empty, answer the following.
(i) Calculate the capacity of the tank in litres, taking π=3.14.
(ii) Determine the time, in minutes, required by the tap to fill the tank completely.
