# A well with inside diameter of 10m is dug 14m deep

A well with inside diameter of 10m is dug 14m deep. Earth is taken out of it is spread all round to a width of 5m to form a embankment. find the height of the embankment.

Given radius of the well = 5 m Height of the well = 14 m Width of the embankment = 5 m Therefore radius of the embankment = 5 + 5 = 10 m Let h be the height of the embankment Hence the volume of the embankment = volume of the well� That is π(R – r)2h =�πr2h (102�– 52) x h�=�52�x 14 (100 – 25) x h = 25 x 14 h = (25 x 14)/75 = 14/3 Therefore, h = 4.67 cm
