Final answer:

For an adult weighing more than 30kg, the typical urine output per hour is between 30ml/hr and 60ml/hr, with standard daily production being 1.5 liters (1500ml) and the minimum production required for normal bodily functions being roughly 20ml/hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

The urine output per hour for a person weighing more than 30kg is typically between 30ml/hr and 60ml/hr. Considering the average daily urine production is about 1.5 liters, which is 1500 ml per day, we can calculate this by dividing 1500 ml by 24 hours, which equates to approximately 62.5 ml per hour. However, as this output can vary based on hydration levels and bodily functions, the general acceptable minimum level of urine production necessary to maintain normal function is about 0.47 liters per day (which is roughly divided by 24 hours) results in just under 20 ml/hr. Yet, because the question addresses a person weighing more than 30kg, which is a standard adult weight, the output should be a bit higher, aligning with the 30ml/hr to 60ml/hr range.
