5.76 m\text{5.76 m}

Step-by-step solution

3 steps
  1. Calculate the volume of the hemispherical pond.

    The pond is a hemisphere with a diameter of 12 m.
    The radius of the pond, rpr_p, is half of the diameter.

    rp=122=6 mr_p = \frac{12}{2} = 6 \text{ m}

    The volume of a sphere is given by V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3. Therefore, the volume of a hemisphere is half of that.
    (Note: The question states "Volume of sphere = 43πr2\frac{4}{3}\pi r^2", which appears to be a typo. We will use the correct formula for the volume of a sphere, V=43πr3V = \frac{4}{3}\pi r^3.)
    The volume of the hemispherical pond, VpV_p, is:

    Vp=12×43πrp3=23πrp3V_p = \frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}\pi r_p^3 = \frac{2}{3}\pi r_p^3

    Substitute rp=6r_p = 6 m and π=3.14\pi = 3.14:

    Vp=23×3.14×(6)3V_p = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times (6)^3 Vp=23×3.14×216V_p = \frac{2}{3} \times 3.14 \times 216 Vp=2×3.14×2163V_p = 2 \times 3.14 \times \frac{216}{3} Vp=2×3.14×72V_p = 2 \times 3.14 \times 72 Vp=452.16 m3V_p = 452.16 \text{ m}^3
  2. Calculate the volume of water in the cylindrical tank.

    The water is poured into a cylindrical tank with a radius of 5 m. Let the height of the water in the tank be hh.
    The radius of the cylindrical tank, rtr_t, is 5 m.
    The volume of a cylinder, VtV_t, is given by:

    Vt=πrt2hV_t = \pi r_t^2 h

    Substitute rt=5r_t = 5 m and π=3.14\pi = 3.14:

    Vt=3.14×(5)2×hV_t = 3.14 \times (5)^2 \times h Vt=3.14×25×hV_t = 3.14 \times 25 \times h Vt=78.5h m3V_t = 78.5 h \text{ m}^3
  3. Equate the volumes and solve for the height hh.

    Since there is no loss of water, the volume of water from the pond is equal to the volume of water in the cylindrical tank:

    Vp=VtV_p = V_t 452.16=78.5h452.16 = 78.5 h

    Now, solve for hh:

    h=452.1678.5h = \frac{452.16}{78.5} h≈5.76 mh \approx 5.76 \text{ m}

    The height of the water in the tank is approximately 5.76 m.

    The final answer is 5.76 m\text{5.76 m}.
