Question

Water is pumped from a lake to a storage tank 15 m above at a rate of 70 l/s. What is the volume of water pumped in 1 hour?

1) 4200 l
2) 25200 l
3) 50400 l
4) 75600 l

Answer 1

The volume of water pumped in 1 hour at a rate of 70 l/s is 252,000 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of water pumped in 1 hour, we can use the rate of water flow given in the question. With a flow rate ofur (360 70 liters per second (l/s), you can find the total volume pumped in one hour by multiplying this rate by the number of seconds in an ho0 seconds).

So, the calculation would be as follows:

Volume in 1 hour = flow rate (l/s) × time (s)

Volume in 1 hour = 70 l/s × 3600 s

Volume in 1 hour = 252,000 liters

Therefore, the correct answer is option 3) 252,000 liters.
