Problema Solution

A water tank is h feet high. Water is flowing from the water tank with a velocity v feet per second. The model representing the relationship between the velocity and height is given by v=6square height.

a. Find the height of a water tank that provides a water flow of 60 feet per seconds.

b. Find the velocity of the water flow when the height is 130 feet. Round the answer to two decimal places.

Answer provided by our tutors

V = 6sqrt(h)

(a) v = 60

6sqrt(h) = 60

h = 100 feet

(b)

V = 6sqrt(h)= 6sqrt(130)= 68.41 feet per seconds
