A tap leaks at 2cm³ per second how long will it take to full a container of 45litres
45 L is 45000 cm^3
(45000 / 2) seconds
45,000 divided by 2 = your answer.
Total capacity of the container = 45 liters = 45 x 1000 = 45000 cm3
Time to fill the container = 450,00/2 = 22,500 seconds
= (22,500)/ (3,600) = 6 hr 15 mins
To calculate the time it will take to fill a container, we need to find the volume of water that comes out of the tap in a certain amount of time and then divide the total volume of the container by that amount.
First, let's convert the volume of the container from litres to cubic centimeters (cm³). Since 1 litre is equal to 1000 cm³, 45 litres will be equal to 45,000 cm³.
Now, we know that the tap leaks at a rate of 2 cm³ per second.
To find the time it takes to fill the container, we will divide the volume of the container by the leak rate:
Time = Volume / Leak rate
Time = 45,000 cm³ / 2 cm³ per second
Time = 22,500 seconds
Therefore, it will take 22,500 seconds to fill the container.
