A pipe is connected to a tank. The water flows out from the tank through the pipe at the rate of 64 m3min. Find the time taken by the pipe to empty the volume of 1024 m3. (in mins)
16 mins.
∵ Time taken by 64 m3 of water to flow out from the tank = 1 min.
∴ Time taken by 1 m3 of water to flow out from the tank = 164 min
∴ Time taken by 1024 m3 of water =(164×1024)
= 16 minutes
