Question

A cylindrical fuel tank is 1.25 meters high and has
a radius of 0.60 meter. If the tank can only be
filled to an 85% capacity to allow for expansion
of the fuel, what is the maximum volume of fuel?

Answer 1

Answer:

The maximum volume of the fuel is:

$V_{fuel}=1.20 \: m^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the cylinder is given by:

$V=\pi r^{2}h$

$V=\pi (0.6^{2})(1.25)$

$V=1.41 \: m^{3}$

If the tank can be filled to 85% of its capacity, the maximum volume of the fuel will be:

$V_{fuel}=1.41*(\frac{85}{100})$

$V_{fuel}=1.20 \: m^{3}$
