To find the quantity of milk that can be stored in a cylindrical tank, we first need to calculate the volume of the cylinder. The formula for the volume \( V \) of a cylinder is:
Volume Calculation
The formula is given by:
V = πr²h
- r = radius of the cylinder = 1.5 m
- h = height (or length) of the cylinder = 7 m
- π (Pi) ≈ 3.14
Substituting the Values
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = π × (1.5)² × 7
Calculating step-by-step:
- (1.5)² = 2.25
- V = 3.14 × 2.25 × 7
- V ≈ 3.14 × 15.75
- V ≈ 49.5 m³
Converting to Liters
Since 1 cubic meter is equal to 1,000 liters, we convert the volume:
Quantity of milk in liters = 49.5 m³ × 1,000 = 49,500 liters
Final Result
The milk tank can store approximately 49,500 liters of milk.
