A hose of cross-sectional area 0.5m² is used to discharge water from a water tanker at a velocity of 60ms−³ in 20s into a container. If the container is filled completely, the volume of the container is

A. 240m3
B. 600m3
C. 2400m3
D. 6000m3

Correct Answer:

Option B – 600m3

Explanation

Vol = cross-sectional area x length
∴ vol. of water disharged per sec
= 60ms-1 x 0.5m
= 30m3 5-1
=> Vol. of water discharged in the said 20s
= 30m3 x 20 = 600m3
∴ vol. of the container = 600m3
