A laundry tubhas a capacity of 67 L. If you fill it up with 37 L of water. Will it overflow if you submerge a steel drum with a diameter of 19 cm. and a length of 102 cm.??
Thanks

i had the volume, 28,919.93 cm3 which Sounds way off. but yes i guess it would overflow by a great amount. Thanks for the help with that.

No it won't overflow. Since the total capacity = 67 L and when you minus the volume of water in it, the free space can hold 30 L. However, the steel drum's volume is height*pi*radius^2, which is equal to 28905.27 cm^3. Since cm^3 is equal to mL, and 1 L is equal to 1000 mL, then, the steel drum's volume in liters is approximately equal to 28.9 L. Therefore, the water won't overflow.

Calculate the volume of the drum. pi r squared for the base times the height. This will give you cm3. Each cm3 is 1 mL. Now convert the volume to mL and then to liters.
Add the liters of the drum to the 37 L of water you added and see if it exceeds 67 liters.
