Water flows out of a pipe at a rate of 40\(\pi cm^2\) per seconds into an empty cylinder container of base radius 4cm. Find the height of water in the container after 4 seconds.

A
10 cm
B
14 cm
C
16 cm
D
20 cm
correct option: a

Volume of a cylinder = \(\pi r^2h\)

40\(\pi cm^3\) = \(\pi. 4^2h\)

40\(cm^3\) = 16h

h = 2.5cm/sec

In 4 seconds, 2.5cm x 4

= 10cm
