A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank in his field which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If water flows through the pipe at the rate of 3 km/hr, in how much time will the tank be filled?
Given diameter of tank = 10 m
radius of tank, R = 5 m
height of tank , H = 2 m
diameter of pipe = 20 cm
radius of pipe , r = 10 cm =
speed of water through pipe,
Solution volume of tank
volume of water through pipe
(vt = length per unit time)
time taken to fill the tank = 100 minutes
