A rectangular water-tank measuring 80 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm is filled from a pipe of cross-sectional area 1.5 cm2, the water emerging at 3.2 m/s. How long does it take to fill the tank?

Given: Dimensions of the rectangular tank = 80 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm Cross-sectional area of the pipe = 1.5 cm2 Speed of water = 3.2 m/s = 3.2 × 100 cm/s = 320 cm/s Volume of the rectangular tank = 80 x 60 x 60 cm3 = 2,88,000 cm3 Volume of water flowing per second = Cross-sectional area x Speed of water = 1.5 x 320 cm3/s = 480 cm3/s Volume of water flowing per minute = 480 x 60 cm3 = 28,800 cm3/min Total time required to fill the tank = = min = 10 minutes Hence, the time taken by the pipe to fill the tank is 10 minutes.
