Question

A river 3 m deep and 40 m wide is flowing at the rate of 2 km per hour. How much water will fall into the sea in a minute?

Solution

Rate of water flow = 2 km per hour

=(200060)m/min

=(1003)m/min

Depth (h) of river = 3 m

Width (b) of river = 40 m

Volume of water flowed in 1 min =(1003×40×3)m3=4000m3

Therefore, in 1 minute, 4000 m3 water will fall in the sea.
