Question

A winery has a vat with two pipes leading to it. The inlet pipe can fill the vat in 7 ​hours, while the outlet pipe can empty it in 10 hours. How long will it take to fill the vat if both pipes are left​ open?

Answer 1

time require is 23.33 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

time t1 = 7 hours

time t2 = 10 hours

to find out

how long it take to fill vat if both pipe left open

solution

we consider here vat volume is v

so speed = volume / time .................1

inlet speed = v / 7 .................2

outlet speed = v / 10 ..................3

so from equation 2 and 3

net speed is = v / 7 - v / 10

net speed = 3 /70 × v

so here time is

time = v / net speed

time =
`(v)/((3v)/(70) )`

time = 70 / 3 = 23.33

so time require is 23.33 hours
