View full question & answer→When a fluid (water) flows through a pipe of area of cross-section A with velocity $\upsilon,$ then volume of water coming from pipe in time t = Area of cross-section × Length $=\text{A}\times\upsilon.\text{t}$ $[\because\text{V}=\text{Area of base}\times\text{Height}]$Cylinder:
$\text{A}=\pi\text{r}^2$
$\text{r}=\frac{5\text{mm}}{2}=\frac{5}{2000}\text{m}$ $\text{r}=\frac{1}{400}\text{m}$Cone:
$\text{R}=\frac{40}{2}\text{cm}=0.2\text{m}$ $\text{H}=24\text{cm}=0.24\text{m}$ $\Rightarrow\ \upsilon=\frac{10}{60}\text{m/s}=\frac{1}{6}\text{m/s}$ $\therefore$ Volume of flowing water = Volume of cone ⇒ Area of base × height (dist.) $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{A}\times\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \pi\text{r}^2.\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{r}^2.\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \frac{1}{400}\times\frac{1}{400}\times\frac{1}{6}\text{t}$ $=\frac{1}{3}\times0.2\times0.2\times0.24$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=\frac{2\times2\times24\times400\times400\times6}{3\times10000}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=4\times24\times4\times4\times2\sec$ $=\frac{4\times24\times4\times4\times2}{60}\min=\frac{512}{10}=51.2\min$ $=51\min+0.2\min=51\min+0.2\times60\sec$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=51\min\text{ and }12\sec.$ Hence, conical tank will fill in 51 min and 12 sec.
$\text{A}=\pi\text{r}^2$
$\text{r}=\frac{5\text{mm}}{2}=\frac{5}{2000}\text{m}$ $\text{r}=\frac{1}{400}\text{m}$Cone:
$\text{R}=\frac{40}{2}\text{cm}=0.2\text{m}$ $\text{H}=24\text{cm}=0.24\text{m}$ $\Rightarrow\ \upsilon=\frac{10}{60}\text{m/s}=\frac{1}{6}\text{m/s}$ $\therefore$ Volume of flowing water = Volume of cone ⇒ Area of base × height (dist.) $=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{A}\times\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \pi\text{r}^2.\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\pi\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{r}^2.\upsilon.\text{t}=\frac{1}{3}\text{R}^2\text{H}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \frac{1}{400}\times\frac{1}{400}\times\frac{1}{6}\text{t}$ $=\frac{1}{3}\times0.2\times0.2\times0.24$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=\frac{2\times2\times24\times400\times400\times6}{3\times10000}$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=4\times24\times4\times4\times2\sec$ $=\frac{4\times24\times4\times4\times2}{60}\min=\frac{512}{10}=51.2\min$ $=51\min+0.2\min=51\min+0.2\times60\sec$ $\Rightarrow\ \ \text{t}=51\min\text{ and }12\sec.$ Hence, conical tank will fill in 51 min and 12 sec.
