The dimensions of a conical funnel are shown below: A conical funnel is shown with the height of the cone as 4 inches and the radius of the base as 3 inches. Lolita closes the nozzle of the funnel and fills it completely with a liquid. She then opens the nozzle. If the liquid drips at the rate of 12 cubic inches per minute, how long will it take for all the liquid to pass through the nozzle? (Use π = 3.14.) 2.35 minutes 4.71 minutes 1.57 minutes 3.14 minutes

oh here they come

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

lol

OpenStudy (goformit100):

I will help @Gabylovesyou as she is my Role Model.

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

ok.. lol :D

Let's try something. Volume of right circular cone is given by the formula: V = (1/3) * pi * r^2 * h where r is the radius of the circular base and h is the height of the cone.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

If 65.94 cubic units is the volume of the cone (I got 65.973 using more digits of pi), then ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

... divide 65.973 cubic units by 14 cubic units per minute to see how many minutes it takes for the funnel to empty.

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

lol... well perhaps you need to recheck the volume of the cone

OpenStudy (goformit100):

@$w3G_Godd is correct

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

i get 4.712.....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.7

OpenStudy (goformit100):

Well done @Gabylovesyou Ma'm

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

I got B ..

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well check the volume... doing mental arithmetic the volume is around 37 in^3

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

and B isn't the answer

OpenStudy (goformit100):

@campbell_st is correct.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lol i tried

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

wait. its D ?

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

Volume of cone is 37.6991118 37.6991118/12=3.14159265 3.142 mins

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

well that looks like D

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

oh okay :D Thank you

OpenStudy (goformit100):

OMG, I am getting Crazzy

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

lol

OpenStudy (gabylovesyou):

thank you @$w3G_Godd @goformit100 @campbell_st <3 <3

OpenStudy (goformit100):
