A conical tank has base radius of 25mm and the height 50mm. It is filled with water till 40mm.

How much does the volume of the water increase if the level is raised by 2mm.

Please help me to solve it.[/u]

the change is the final minus the initial. Use that the volume of a cylinder is \pi ^2*h where h is the height.

The volume of a cone is given by \frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h...

:oops: cone, cylinder...they both start with c. X_X

Thank you for help. I worked out the final volume minus the intial volume but I do not get the answer which is 2.5ml.

I used the formula for volume of cone 1/3 r^2 pi h. I do not unerstand where i have gone wrong.

Any tips.

Thank you

How can we pinpoint where you have gone wrong if we haven't seen what you actually did nor what answer you got?

I agree with outermeasure. Also, your eventual answer will have a \pi in it.

I used : (pi/3*2.1*2.1*4.2)- (pi/3*2.0*2.0*4.0)=2.6

Radius calculation: 40/50*2.5= 2 INTIAL
42/50*2.5= 2.1 FINAL

Is this correct method?

Thanks

Method is correct, answer is not. Read Shadow's post again.
