Question:

what is tahe cap. of silo (opc) which the Diameter = 2.2 meters and height of cyl. = 12 meters,..?

cone dia = 2.2 meters, height = 1.6 meters

Answer:

The volume of the silo is composed of two shapes: a cylinder, and a cone V = πr?h? + ?πr?h? V = π(1.1)?(12) + ?π(1.1)?(1.6) V = 14.52π + 0.6453...π V = 15.16533...π V = 47.6432997.. m? V = 47.54 m? (n 100th) Capacity usually refers to the amount of liquid the container can hold. 1 m? of space can hold 1000 L of any liquid ∴ The silo will hold 47.54 m?(1000 L/m?) = 47 540 L of any liquid. Hope this helps! Cheers! :) .
