Transcript text: If a spherical tank 4 m in diameter can be filled with a liquid for $\$ 700$, find the cost to fill a tank 16 m in diameter.
The cost to fill the 16 m tank is \$ $\square$
Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate the volume of the first spherical tank
Using the formula $V_1 = \frac43\pi(\frac{D_1}{2})^3$, where $D_1 = 4$, we find $V_1 = 33.510$ cubic units.
Step 2: Calculate the volume of the second spherical tank
Using the formula $V_2 = \frac43\pi(\frac{D_2}{2})^3$, where $D_2 = 16$, we find $V_2 = 2144.661$ cubic units.
Step 3: Determine the ratio of the volumes
The ratio $R = \frac{V_2}{V_1} = 64$, indicating how many times larger the second tank is compared to the first.
Step 4: Calculate the cost to fill the second tank
Given the cost to fill the first tank is $700$, the cost to fill the second tank is $C_2 = C_1 \times R = 44800$.
Final Answer:
The cost to fill the spherical tank of diameter 16 is approximately $44800.
