488. Water is flowing at the rate of 5 km per hour through a pipe of diameter 14 cm into a rectangular tank which is 50 m long and 44 m wide. Determine the time in which the level of water in the tank will rise by 7 cm.

Let r cm be the radius and h cm be the height of a pipe (cylinder), then

r = 7 cm =

7 over 10 space straight m

And, h = 5 km = 5000 m

[distance covered in 1 hr. = height of pipe]
Now, Volume of water that flows out of the circular pipe in 1 hour

$equals space πr squared straight h equals space open parentheses 22 over 7 straight x 7 over 100 straight x 7 over 100 straight x 5000 close parentheses straight m cubed equals space 77 space straight m cubed$
Let l, b and h are respectively the length, breath and height of the tank (cuboid), then
l = 50 m
b = 44 m
and h = 7 cm = $7 over 100 m$
Now, Volume of water that flows in the rectangular tank
= l x b x h
$equals space open parentheses 50 space straight x space 44 space straight x space 7 over 100 close parentheses space straight m cubed space equals space 154 space straight m cubed$
$because$ time taken to flow 77 m³of water in to the tank K = 1 hr

$therefore$ time taken to flow 154 m³of water in to the tank = $154 over 77 equals space 2 space hrs$
Hence, the level of water in the tank rise by 7 cm in 2 hrs.
