If a bottle, perfectly cylindrical, has a radius r cm and height h cm, the water level is l. Then if the bottle is made oblique, what would be the new water level from the point of contact with the ground?

Oblique meaning $\angle \theta?$ – For the love of maths Jan 16 '19 at 16:32

The angle theta is 90° – charushila gajapati Jan 16 '19 at 16:48

So do you mean just turning the bottle on its side? – CyborgOctopus Jan 16 '19 at 16:51

Yes the bottle is turned on its side – charushila gajapati Jan 16 '19 at 17:13

Notice that the amount of "change" is related only to the angle of tilting - you need to have the information about the radius of the bottle. – Moti Jan 16 '19 at 17:29

Actually no need for the radius - the water level is h X Sin(Theta) – Moti Jan 16 '19 at 17:40

The answer depends on the pivot point, no? – amd Jan 16 '19 at 18:27

Moti please explain. – charushila gajapati Jan 17 '19 at 15:07
