A tap leaks at the rate of 2 cm cube per sec.How long will it take the tap to fill a container of 45 litres capacity?
45 L is 45000 cm^3
(45000 / 2) seconds
To find out how long it will take the tap to fill the container, we need to use the information given.
1 liter is equal to 1000 cm³ (since 1 liter = 1 cubic decimeter and 1 cubic decimeter = 1000 cubic centimeters), so 45 liters is equal to 45,000 cm³.
The tap leaks at a rate of 2 cm³ per second. So, the time it takes to fill the container can be calculated by dividing the volume of the container by the rate of leakage.
Time = Volume / Leakage Rate
Time = 45,000 cm³ / 2 cm³ per second
Simplifying the equation:
Time = 45,000 cm³ / 2 cm³ per second
Time = 22,500 seconds
Therefore, it will take 22,500 seconds to fill the container.
