Answer
Step-by-step solution
3 stepsCalculate the volume of the hemispherical pond.
The pond is a hemisphere with a diameter of 12 m.
The radius of the pond, , is half of the diameter.The volume of a sphere is given by . Therefore, the volume of a hemisphere is half of that.
(Note: The question states "Volume of sphere = ", which appears to be a typo. We will use the correct formula for the volume of a sphere, .)
The volume of the hemispherical pond, , is:Substitute m and :
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 .
The radius of the cylindrical tank, , is 5 m.
The volume of a cylinder, , is given by:Substitute m and :
Equate the volumes and solve for the height .
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:
Now, solve for :
The height of the water in the tank is approximately 5.76 m.
The final answer is .
