A trough of length L has a cross section in the shape of a semicircle with radius r
Chapter 2, Problem 19(choose chapter or problem)
A trough of length L has a cross section in the shape of a semicircle with radius r. (See the accompanying figure.) When filled with water to within a distance h of the top, the volume V of water is V = L 0.5r2 r2 arcsin(h/r) h(r2 h2 ) 1/2 . h h r Suppose L = 10 ft,r = 1 ft, and V = 12.4 ft3. Find the depth of water in the trough to within 0.01 ft.
