to a depth of 76 mm. Determine the volume of water in the bowl. If water flows out through
a small hole in the bottom so that the level drops 50 mm, how much water has escaped
from the bowl?
SM.3.2. Hemispherical bowl was filled to a depth of 150 mm. with mixtures compounded
from equal parts of two liquids one white, the other red. After standing for a short period the
mixture was separated, the red liquid settling below the white. If the thickness of segment
white is 50 mm. find the volume of liquid in the bowl.
SM.3.3. A cylinder tank 1.0 m in diameter, 3.0 m long is filled with gasoline to a depth of
0.70 m. How many litres of gasoline does it contain?

SM.3.4.A rubber ball 260 mm in diameter is floating a tank of water. If the ball sink to a
depth of 100 mm. find the area of wetted surface.
SM.3.5.Into an invested frustum of a pyramid full of water, a spherical ball is immersed.

Naturally some of the water overflowed. Then the ball is removed and it was found out that
the surface had dropped 80 mm below the top. The lower base is a rectangle 150 130
mm and the upper base is rectangle 360 280 mm with the some arrangement that the
longer diversions are laid on the same side. The height of the frustum is 300 mm, Find the
volume of water left in the vessel.
