A restaurant serves soda pop in cylindical pitchers that are 6 inches in diameter and 8 inches tall. if the pitcher has1-inch head of foam, how much soda is lost as a result? ( ROUND YOUR ANSWER TO TWO DECIMAL PLACES.)

Answer :

Questions relating Word Problems can sometimes be resolved by taking note of the definition of given clues

The amount of soda lost is approximately 28.27 in.³

The reason the above value is correct is as follows:

The known parameters about the the soda pop served by the restaurant are;

Diameter of the cylindrical pitcher in which the soda pop is sold, D = 6 inches

The height of the cylindrical pitchers, h = 8 inches

Thickness of the head of foam in the pitchers, t = 1 inches

Required:

The amount of soda lost as a result of the head of foam

Method:

Define a pitcher

Calculate the volume occupied by the head of foam

Solution:

A pitcher holds drink and usually has a lip and handle, therefore, the drink is filled level with the pitcher

The volume occupied by the head of foam = The amount of soda lost

The volume occupied by the head of foam, [tex]\mathbf{V_{(head \ of \ foam)}}[/tex] = The volume of 1 inch height of the foam in the cylindrical pitcher

Volume in a cylinder = Base area × Height

[tex]\mathbf{Base \ area\ in \ a \ cylinder} =\dfrac{\pi \cdot D^2}{4}[/tex]

The height of the foam = The thickness of the foam = t

∴ [tex]V_{(head \ of \ foam)} =\mathbf{\dfrac{\pi \cdot D^2}{4} \times t}[/tex] =

Plugging in the values of D, and t, gives;

[tex]\mathbf{V_{(head \ of \ foam)}} =\dfrac{\pi \times (6 \ in.)^2}{4} \times 1 \ in. = \pi \mathbf{\times 9 \, in.^3}[/tex]

The volume of the head of foam, given to two decimal places is presented as follows;

[tex]V_{(head \ of \ foam)}[/tex] = π × 9 in.³ ≈ 28.27 in.³

The volume of the head of foam = The amount of soda lost ≈ 28.27 in.³
