Problem 29
A certain Chinese coin, 1/2 in. in diameter and 1/16 in. thick, is pierced by a square hole 1/8 in. on a side. Find the amount of metal in a coin.
 

Problem 28
A water tank, open at the top, consists of a right circular cylinder and a right circular cone, as shown. If the altitude of the cylinder is three times its radius, and the altitude of the cone is two times the same radius, find the number of square feet of sheet metal required to construct a tank having a capacity of 10,000 gal. (One gal. = 231 cu. in.)
 

Problem 27
One hundred and fifty posts are used in fencing a lawn. Each post is built in the form of frustum of a pyramid surmounted by a pyramid whose lower base is common with the upper base of the frustum. The height of the pyramidal top is 2 in. and the common base is a square 4 in. on an edge. The lower base of the frustum has an edge of 6 in. If the overall height of each is 6 ft., how much concrete will be used in making the posts?
 

Problem 26
A wooden ball 2 ft. in diameter weighs 200 lb. Find the diameter of a ball of the same material which weighs 50 lb.
 

Problem 25
A reservoir 10 ft. deep is in the form of a frustum of inverted square pyramid with bases of 100 and 90 ft. on a side respectively. How long will it require an inlet pipe to fill the reservoir if the water pours in at the rate of 200 gal. per min.? (One gal. = 231 cu. in.)
 

Problem 24
A pipe of 3/4-in. inside diameter conducts water from a spring to a house 300 ft. distant. It is desired to empty the pipe after the water has been turned off the spring. Will a 10-qt. pail hold the water? (One gal. = 231 cu. in.)
 

Problem 23
