Answer:

Time required to completely fill this container = 78.43 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of container = 4 m³

Rate of filling of container = 0.051 m³/s

We have the equation


\texttt{Time required}=\frac{\texttt{Volume of container}}{\texttt{Rate of filling of container}}

Substituting


\texttt{Time required}=(4)/(0.051)=(4000)/(51)=78.43 s

Time required to completely fill this container = 78.43 seconds
