A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep.
A farmer connects a pipe of internal diameter 20 cm from a canal into a cylindrical tank which is 10 m in diameter and 2 m deep. If the water flows through the pipe at the rate of 4 km/hr, then in how much time will the tank be filled completely?
We have,
Internal radius of the pipe, $r=\frac{20}{2}=10 \mathrm{~cm}=0.1 \mathrm{~m}$,
Radius of the cylindrical tank, $R=\frac{10}{2}=5 \mathrm{~m}$ and
Height of the cylindrical tank, $H=2 \mathrm{~m}$
Also, the speed of the water flow in the pipe, $h=4 \mathrm{~km} / \mathrm{hr}=\frac{4 \times 1000 \mathrm{~m}}{1 \mathrm{hr}}=4000 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{hr}$
Now,
The volume of the water flowing out of the pipe in a hour $=\pi r^{2} h$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times 0.1 \times 0.1 \times 4000$
$=\frac{880}{7} \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
And,
The volume of the cylindrical $\operatorname{tank}=\pi R^{2} H$
$=\frac{22}{7} \times 5 \times 5 \times 2$
$=\frac{1100}{7} \mathrm{~m}^{3}$
So,
The time taken to fill the tank $=\frac{\text { Volume of the cylindrical tank }}{\text { Vo } 2}$
$=\frac{\left(\frac{1100}{7}\right)}{\left(\frac{880}{7}\right)}$
$=\frac{1100}{880}$
$=\frac{5}{4} \mathrm{hr}$
$=1 \frac{1}{4} \mathrm{hr}$
$=1 \mathrm{hr}$ and $\frac{1}{4} \times 60 \mathrm{~min}$
$=1 \mathrm{hr} 15 \mathrm{~min}$
So, the tank will be completely filled in 1 hour 15 minutes.
