How many cubic metres of earth must be dug-out to sink a well 21 m

Question:

How many cubic metres of earth must be dug-out to sink a well 21 m deep and 6 m diameter?

Solution:

The volume of the earth that must be dug out is similar to the volume of the cylinder which is equal to πr2h.

Height of the well =21 m

Diameter of the well= 6 m

∴ Volume of the earth that must be dug out = (π (32) (21)) m3= 594 m3
