Question

Water enters a tank from two pipes, one with a flow rate of 0.3 kg/s and the other with a flow rate of 0.1 kg / s. The tank has a small hole through which water leaks out at a rate of 0.03 kg / s. If the tank initially contained 40 kg of water, how much will it have after 2 minutes?

Answer 1

total amount of water after 2 min will be 84.4 kg/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

one tank inflow = 0.1 kg/s

2nd tank inflow = 0.3 kg/s

3rd tank outflow = 0.03 kg/s

Total net inflow in tank is = 0.3 +0.1 =0.4 kg/s

From third point, outflow is 0.03 kg/s

Therefore, resultant in- flow = 0.4 - 0.03

Resultant inflow is = 0.37 kg/s

Tank has initially 40 kg water

In 2 min ( 2*60 sec), total inflow in tank is 0.37*60*2 = 44.4 kg

So, total amount of water after 2 min will be = 40+44.4 = 84.4 kg
