Q5 of 23 Page 1

Solve any two sub-questions:

Water flows at the rate of 15 m per minute through a cylindrical pipe, having the diameter 20 mm. How much time will it take to fill a conical vessel of abse diameter 40 cm and depth 4 cm?

The figure is as follows:


Given:


Cylindrical Pipe diameter, d = 20 mm


r = 10 mm = 1 cm


Rate of flow of water = 15m / min


h = 1500 cm / min


Conical Vessel = D = 40cm


R = 20 cm


H = 45 cm


Let the conical vessel be filled in x min


Volume of water flowing through cylindrical pipe in x min = Volume of conical vessel




1500x = 400 × 15


x = 6000 / 1500


x = 4 min


Therefore the conical vessel will be filled in 4 minutes.
