Question

The volume of water which will flow in a stream of width 4 m, height 5 m at a speed of 10 m/s in one minute = m${}^3$

• A. 1200
• B. 12000
• C. 600
• D. 6000

Answer 1

The correct option is B 12000

In one minute the stream would travel a distance of 10 m/s $\times$ 60 s = 600 m.

Hence, inorder to find out the volume of water which will flow, we can consider the volume to be equivalent to the volume of water in a cuboid of length 600 m , width 4 m and height 5 m.

Hence, the volume of water which will flow = 600$\times$4$\times$5 = 12000 m${}^3$.
