Some hint for 2-9

Given conditions : Diameter of the reactor is 2 m, and the length 4 m.

Express the mass of benzene in the reactor when the liquid level is h cm.

Consider a small area dA; since its right end is on the circle, its x coordinate can be expressed as

‫ݔ‬ଵ = ඥ1 − ‫ ݕ‬ଶ . Similary, its left end is ‫ݔ‬ଶ = −ඥ1 − ‫ ݕ‬ଶ. If the height of this small area is dy,

dA = (x1 - x2)*dy = 2ඥ1 − ‫ ݕ‬ଶ ∗ ݀‫ݕ‬. Then, by integrating dA from -1 to h - (-1) [ = h + 1] to get
area A.

‫ି׬ = ܣ‬ଵ 2ඥ1 − ‫ ݕ‬ଶ ݀‫ݕ‬ Now, you can use the formula;

to solve this equation.

Note: A is the area of cross section of the liquid. The reactor length is given as 4 m.

Mass of volume (cross sectional area x length) * density….

You need to convert units !

cf. The answer is not number, but an equation of h.
