Question

A rectangular water reservoir is 10 8 m by 3 75 m at the base Water
flows in it at the rate of 18 m/s through a pipe having the cross
section 7 5 cm × 4 5 cm Find the height to which the
water will rise in the reservoir in 30 min

Neha Sethi · Accepted Answer

Dear student It is given that a rectangular water reservoir of 10 8 m by 3 75 m at the base Let height of the water reservoir is h m So,

…… (1) And water flows into it at the rate of 18m/s through a pipe having the cross section 7 5 cm by 4 5 cm Note: Convert cm into m and minute into second Total volume of water in the reservoir in 30 minute

…… (2) Equating equation (1) and (2), we get,

Hence height of the reservoir will be 2 7 m Regards

A rectangular water reservoir is 10.8 m by 3.75 m at the base. Water flows in it at the rate of 18 m/s through a pipe having the cross section 7.5 cm × 4.5 cm. Find the height to which the water will rise in the reservoir in 30 min.
