A hemispherical tank full of water is emptied by a pipe at the rate of `(25)/7`litres per second. How much time will it take to empty half the tank, if it is 3m in diameter? |
|
Answer» Volume of hemispeherical tank, `V = 2/3pir^3` Here, diameter,`d= 3m` So, radius, `r = 1.5m` So, `V = 2/3**22/7**(1.5)^3 = 2/3**22/7**27/8=99/14` `V/2 = 99/28` Let `t` is the time taken in seconds to empty half of the tank, As, the tank is emptied at the rate of `25/7` litres per second. then, `25/7**t = 99**1000/28`(Multiplied by 1000 to convert it into litres) `=>t = 99000/28**7/25 = 990 ` seconds` = 990/60 = 16.5` minutes |
