A river 2 m deep and 45 m wide is flowing at the rate of 3 km per hour. Find the volume of water that runs into the sea per minute.

Given,


Depth of river (h) = 2 m


Breadth of river (b) = 45 m


Rate of flowing = 3 km/h


∴ Length = meter/min.


Volume of water = l × b × h = × 2 × 45 = 90 × 50 = 4500 m3
