Question

Water is poured into a cuboidal container at the rate of $80$ liter per minute. If the volume of container is $144m^3$, find the number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir.

Answer 1

Rate of flow $=80lt/min$

Volume of tank /container $=144m^3$

$1m^3=1000lt$

$\therefore 144m^3=144000lt$

Time taken to fill the complete receiver

$=\frac{144000}{80}=1800min$

$=30hours$
