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

• A.
  240m³
• B.
  600m ³
• C.
  2400m ³
• D.
  6000m³

Correct Answer: Option B

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
