[ 3 Rh]
=2 2
3

Figure - 1

= 3 m, to what depth must the tank be filled so that it holds 30 m 3. Use three iterations
of bisection method to determine your answer.
[Hint: from the physics of the problem, the depth (h) would be between h = 0 and h = 2R
and hence the this becomes the lower and upper limits of depths to initiate the
computation]
