Alright soldiers who's ready to defeat this question??

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

The dimensions of a conical funnel are shown below: A conical funnel is shown with the height of the cone as 8 inches and the radius of the base as 3 inches. Nisha 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 15 cubic inches per minute, how long will it take for all the liquid to pass through the nozzle? (Use π = 3.14.)

not me

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

Come on don't fail the assignment ):

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

i already did

OpenStudy (pflori1234_pop):

:(

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

@pflori1234_pop Come on private! You can do it!

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

if you succeed your reward will be given unto you

OpenStudy (francesca_marie):

._. i have no idea

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

It's okay private! @Francesca_Marie

OpenStudy (francesca_marie):

wut grade is this? :3

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

@Francesca_Marie 10th :D

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

first find the volume of the cone

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

V=(1/3) pi r^2 h

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

put r and h and calculate it first

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

tell me the answer, and then we will proceed soldier

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

3Inches?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

V=???

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

V= (1/3)* 3.14* 3^2*8=75.36 cubic inches

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

I'm still confused private ):

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

now 15 cubic inches of liquid is lost in 1 minute so 75.36 cubic inches of liquid is lost in (1/15)*75.36 min=5.024 mins

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

So it 's 5.02?

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

correct

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Now lets discuss what we actually did

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

Using the formula of volume of a cone we first obtained the volume of liquid

OpenStudy (thatcreepyboy):

good work private, here is your reward

OpenStudy (jango_in_dtown):

next we just obtained the required time using unitary method
