Problema Solution

The volume of the water reservoir is 108m^3.Water is poured into it at a rate of 60l per min.How many hours will it take to fill the reservoir.

Answer provided by our tutors

V = 108 m^3


1 l = 10^(-3) m^3


v = 60 l per min = 60*10^(-3) m^3 per min = 0.06 m^3 per min


since the rate = the volume/ the time that is v = V/t => t = V/v


t = 108/0.06


t = 1800 min = 1800/60 = 30 hours


it will take 30 hours to fill the reservoir.
