Practicing Success
Water flows at the rate of 5 kg per hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 25 m long and 22 m wide. Find the time in which the level of water in the tank rises by 21 cm. [Take = 22/7] |
2 hours 5 hours 3 hours 2.31 hours |
2.31 hours |
flow rate = 5kg/h = 5000g/h density of water = $\rho =1g/cm^3$ flow rate = $5000cm^3/h$ volume filled = 25×22×21 so let x hours be required so $5000cm^3×x=25×22×21$ so $x = 2.31h$ |
