Water is leaking out of an inverted conical tank at a rate of 7,000 cm^3/min at the same time that water is being pumped into the tank at a constant rate. The tank has height 6 m and the diameter at the top is 4 m. If the water level is rising at a rate of 20 cm/min when the height of the water is 2 m.

Required:
Find the rate (in cm^3/min) at which water is being pumped into the tank. (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

Respuesta :

The inflow rate of water is given by the function of the volume of the

tank derived from the shape of the tank.

Response:

  • The rate water is being pumped into the tank is approximately 286,253 cm³/min

Which method can be used to find the rate at which water is pumped into the tank?

The given parameter are;

Shape of the tank = Conical

Rate at which water is leaking out of the tank = 7,000 cm³/min

Height of the tank = 6 m

Diameter of the tank = 4 m

Solution:

We have;

[tex]\dfrac{D}{h} = \mathbf{\dfrac{2 \cdot r}{h}}[/tex]

[tex]r = \mathbf{\dfrac{D}{2 \cdot h}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{r}{h} = \dfrac{4}{6 \times 2} = \dfrac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]r= \mathbf{\dfrac{h}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]V = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot r^2 \cdot h = \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot \pi \cdot \left(\dfrac{h}{3} \right)^2 \cdot h = \mathbf{ \pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{27} ^3}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dh} = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{9} ^2}[/tex]

By using chain rule of differentiation, we have;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\dfrac{dV}{dh} \times \dfrac{dh}{dt}}[/tex]

Which gives;

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{\pi \cdot \dfrac{h}{9} ^2\times 20}[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \pi \cdot \dfrac{200}{9} ^2\times 20 \approx 279,252.68[/tex]

[tex]\dfrac{dV}{dt} = \mathbf{Inflow \ rate - Outflow \ rate}[/tex]

Therefore;

[tex]Inflow \ rate = \mathbf{\dfrac{dV}{dt} + Outflow \ rate}[/tex]

Which gives;

Inflow rate ≈ 279,252.68 + 7000 = 286,252.68 ≈ 286,253

  • The inflow rate = The rate water is being pumped into the tank ≈ 286,253 cm³/min
