36. Underground water tank is popular in India. It is usually used for large water tank storage and can be built cheaply using cement-like materials. Underground water tanks are typically chosen by people who want to save space. The water in the underground tank is not affected by extreme weather conditions. The underground tanks maintain cool temperatures in both winter and summer. Electric pump is used to move water from the underground tank to overhead tank.
Ramesh has build recently his house and installed a underground tank and overhead tank. Dimensions of tanks are as follows : Underground Tank : Base 2 m # 2 m and Height 1.1 m. Overhead tank : Radius 50 cm and Height 175 cm (i) What is the capacity of the underground tank ? (ii) What is the ratio of the capacity of the underground tank to the capacity of the overhead tank? (iii) If curved part of overhead tank need to be painted to save it from corrosion, how much area need to be painted? If water is filled in the overhead tank at the rate of 11 litre per minute, the tank will be completely filled in how much time? O (iv) If the amount of water in the underground tank, at an instant, is 2400 litres, find then the water level in the underground tank at that instant.
