Let's d1=inside dia.of well =14m
h1=depth of well =8m
d2= outside dia. of earth spread (embankment) =21m
h2= height of embankment
V1= pi/4(d1)^2h1
V1= pi/4(14)^2*8=392pi.........(i)
V2=pi/4[(d2^)2-(d1)^2]h2
V2=pi/4[(21)^2-(14)^2]h2
V2=(245/4)pih2.............................(ii)
(i)=(ii)…....…..................... V1=V2
392pi=(245/4)pi h2
h2=6.4m
Ans:Height of embankment is 6.4m
