Rain falls to a depth of 2 cm on a flat roof measuring 22 m by 20 m, and all of the water is collected in an empty cylindrical tank of radius 2 m. Find the rise in the water level of the tank, in metres. Take π = 22/7.

Step-by-Step Solution
Rain water = 22×20×0.02=8.8m3. The tank's base area = (22/7)×22=88/7m2. Rise = 8.8÷(88/7)=8.8×7/88=0.7m.
