Question
Water is flowing at the rate of 15 km per hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. Find the time in which the level of water in the tanks will rise by 21 cm.
Solution
Length of the rectangular tank (l) = 50 m = 5000 cm
Width of the rectangular tank (b) = 44 m = 4400 cm
Level of water in the tank (h) = 21 cm
Volume of the tank = l × b × h cu. units
= 5000 × 4400 × 21 cm3
Radius of the pipe (r) = 7 cm
Speed of the water = 15 km/hr.
(h) = `15000 xx 100` cm/hr.
Volume of water flowing in one hour
= πr2h
= `22/7 xx 7 xx 7 xx 15000 xx 100 "cm"^3`
= 22 × 7 × 15000 × 100 cm3
`{:("Time"),("taken"):}} = "Volume of the tank"/"Volume of water flowing in one hour"`
= `(5000 xx 4400 xx 21)/(22 xx 7 xx 15000 xx 100)`
= `(5 xx 44 xx 21)/(22 xx 7 xx 15)`
= 2 hours
Time taken by the pipe = 2 hours.
