A tank is 7 m long and 4 m wide.At what speed should water run through a pipe 5 cm broad and 4 cm deep so that in 6hr and 18 minutes water level in the tank risese by 4.5 m?
(a)10km/hr
(b)12km/hr
(c)8km/hr
(d)none of these
Read Solution (Total 2)
-
- 10km/hr
Time taken to fill the tank
= volume of tank to be filled/volume of water filled per hour ---(1)
Let y be the rate of flow(speed) of water through pipe in km/hr.
time taken = 6hour 18min
= 63/10 hours ---(2)
Volume of tank = 7*4*4.5 =126 m^3 = 126*10^-9 km^3 ---(3)
Volume of water filled in 1 hour = 5*10^-5*4*10^-5*y = 20y *10^-10 km^3 ---(4)
Substituting (2),(3) and (4) in (1)
63/10 = 126*10/(20y)
y = 10km/hr
