Q. 2 A hose fills a 10L bucket in 20 seconds. What is the rate of flow in litres per hour?A 0.0001B 30C 1800D 7200
Calculate Flow Rate: First, we need to determine the flow rate in liters per second. To do this, we divide the volume of the bucket by the time it takes to fill it. Flow rate (in liters/second) = Time to fill (in seconds)Volume of bucket (in liters)
Perform Calculation: Now we perform the calculation using the given values.Flow rate = 10 liters / 20 seconds = 0.5 liters/second
Convert to Liters per Hour: Next, we need to convert the flow rate from liters per second to liters per hour.There are 3600 seconds in an hour, so we multiply the flow rate by 3600.Flow rate (in liters/hour) = Flow rate (in liters/second) ×3600 seconds/hour
Final Flow Rate Calculation: Now we perform the calculation to find the flow rate in liters per hour. Flow rate = 0.5liters/second×3600seconds/hour=1800liters/hour
