A cylindrical vessel of radius 30 cm and height 42 cm is full of water. Its contents are emptied into a rectangular tub of length 75 cm and breadth 44 cm. The height (in cm) to which the water rises in the tub is: (Take $$\pi = \frac{22}{7}$$)
Volume of the cylindrical vessel = $$\pi r^2 h = \frac{22}{7} \times 30^2 \times 42$$
= 118800
If we replace the water from the cylindrical vessel to rectangular tub then volume should be equal of the cylindrical vessel rectangular tub.
Volume of the cylindrical vessel = Volume of rectangular tub
118800 = length $$\times breadth \times height$$
118800 = 75 $$\times 44 \times height$$
Height = 118800/3300 = 36 cm
