Question 5

Pressure

A hose of cross-sectional area 0.5m2 is used to discharge water from a water tanker at a velocity of 60ms−1 in 20s into a container. If the container is filled completely, the volume of the container is

  1. A.240m3
  2. B.600m3
  3. C.2400m3
  4. D.6000m3
Show the answer and explanation

Answer: B (600m3)

Explanation

Volume = area × speed × time = 0.5 × 60 × 20 = 600 m3.
