Water is pouring in to a cubical reservoir at the rate of 60 liters per minute. If the volume of reservoir is 108 $m^{3}$ , find the number of hours it will take to fill the reservoir.

Solution

Rate of flow of water = $60 l i t e r s / m i n u t e$
Volume of the tank = $108 m^{3}$

$1 m^{3} = 1000 l i t e r s$

$108 m^{3} = 108000 l i t e r s$

Time taken to fill the complete tank
$= 108000 / 60$
$= 1800 m i n u t e s$
$= 1800 / 60 h o u r s$
$= 30 h o u r s$

The tank will be filled completely in $30 h o u r s$
