How many litres of water flow out of a pipe in 1 minute if the area of cross section is 5 sq. cm and the speed of water in the pipe is 30 cm/s.
9 litres
Area of cross section = 5 cm2
speed of water = 30cm/s
Volume of water flowing out = area of cross section x speed of water
= 50 x 30
= 150 cm3 in one second
∴ in one minute = 150 x 60 = 9000 cm3
= 9 litres [1litre = 1000 cm3]
