A rectangular tank of base 4.8m by 5.6m and height of 6m contains 720000 of water initially.
Water flows into the tank at the rate of 5 litres per second.Calculate the time in hours and minutes required to fill the tank
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) Find the volume of the tank in liters.
2) Subtract the given volume of the water to find the empty volume in the tank.
3) Divide the empty volume by the flow rate.
4) You will obtain the time in seconds.
5) Then convert seconds to hours and minutes.
Hey, when I started my calculations, I found that the volume of the tank is LESS than 720000 liters.
So, your input data are INCORRECT.
