SOLUTION: Oil flows through a pipe at a rate of 40m/s. How long will it take to fill a tank of volume 1.2×〖10〗^5 m^3?
ans: for 1second it is 40m. then for 1.2×[10]^5 m^3=40× 1

=4.8×[10]^6. is this the correct answer? Answer by josmiceli(19441) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In terms of units:
( meters3 ) / ( meters3/sec ) = sec
I'm assuming that 40 m/sec means
40 cubic meters/sec sec
In units:
( sec )*( min/sec ) = min min
It will take 50 min to fill the tank
