A cylindrical pipe has inner diameter 7cm and water flows through it at 192.5litres per min. Find the rate of flow in kilometres per hour.
Diameter of cylindrical pipe = 7 cm
∴ Radius of cylindrical pipe
Volume of water flows in 1 min = 192.5 l
∴ Volume of water flows in 1 hour = 192.5 × 60 × 1000 cm3 ......(1)
Let l be the distance covered by water in 1 hour
Volume of water that covers the diameter of 1 hour = πr2l .....(2)
(1) and (2) ⇒ πr2l = 192.5 × 60 × 1000
i.e. distance covered by water in 1 hr is 3 km
∴ Rate of flow of water = 3 km/hr
