A water tank has the shape of an inverted right circular cone with its axis vertical and vertex lowermost. Its semi-vertical angle is tan^(-1)(0.5) . Water is poured into it at a constant rate of 5 cubic meter per hour. Find the rate at which the level of the water is rising at the instant when the depth of water in the tank is 4 m.

A vessel is in the form of an inverted cone. Its height is 8 cm and radius of its top, which is open, is 5 cm. It is filled with water upto the brim. When lead shots, each of which is a sphere of radius 0.5 cm are dropped into the vessel, one fourth of the water flows out. Find the number of lead shots dropped in the vessel.

A light metal stick of square cross-section (5cmxx5cm) and length 4m mass 2.5 kg ad is shown in the figure below determine its angle of inclination when the water surface is 1m above the hinge. What minimum depth of water above high will be required to bring the metal stick in vertical position.

Most substances contract on freezing . However, water does not belong to this category. We know that water expands on freezing. Further , coefficient of volume expansion of water in the temperature range from 0^(@)C to 4^(@)C is negative and above 4^(@)C it is positive . This behaviour of water shapes the freezing of lakes as the atmospheric temperature goes down and it is still above 4^(@)C . As the atmospheric temperature goes below 4^(@)C
