Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2008-05-25
From Simon:
A cylindrical tank with height 15m and diameter 2m is being filled with gasoline at a rate of 500L/min. At what rate is the fluid level in the tank rising?(1L = 1000cm^3). About how long will it take to fill the tank?

A cylindrical tank 2007-11-16
From Mario:
I want to determine how many gallons i have inside a cylinder (tank) that is resting on its side (the Height), NOT standing up. I know V=pi x r2 x H. And 1 cubic foot = 7.48 gallons. Here are the dimensions r=2' H=20'. Now my question is how do I determine how much liquid i have inside, if the level of the liquid is about 1/2 of the way of its Diameter (in other words 2'). Remember this cylinder is lying on its side.

Gasoline in a cylindrical tank 2005-03-23
From Jennifer:

Gasoline is stored in a tank which is a cylinder on its side. Height of fuel is "h" meters and the diameter is "d". The length is "l".

I need to find the amount of gas in the tank when the height is h and also to calculate the fraction of how full it is.

Also, the part I am really confused on is this one,
E(h/d) is the error of the function of h/d, when h/d is used to measure how full the tank is. For what value of h/d is the error maximal?
