In a shower 5cm of a rain falls. Find the volume of water on 2 hectares of land.
one hectare = 100 m by 100m
= 10,000 cm by 10,000 cm
volume of water = (10,000)(10,000)(5) cm^3
= 500,000 L , since 1000 cm^3 of water = 1 L
aren't you glad to be using the metric system?
To find the volume of water on 2 hectares of land, we need to first determine the volume of water that falls on 1 hectare of land and then multiply it by 2.
1 hectare is equal to 10,000 square meters. Since the given rainfall is in centimeters, we need to convert it to meters by dividing by 100. Therefore, 5 cm of rainfall is equal to 0.05 meters.
To calculate the volume of water on 1 hectare, multiply the area (10,000 square meters) by the rainfall (0.05 meters):
Volume = Area × Rainfall
Volume = 10,000 m² × 0.05 m
Now, we can calculate the volume of water on 2 hectares by multiplying the volume on 1 hectare by 2:
Volume on 2 hectares = Volume on 1 hectare × 2
Let's plug in the values and calculate the volume of water on 2 hectares:
Volume on 2 hectares = (10,000 m² × 0.05 m) × 2
Simplifying the equation:
Volume on 2 hectares = 1,000 m³ × 2
Volume on 2 hectares = 2,000 m³
Therefore, the volume of water on 2 hectares of land is 2,000 cubic meters.
