Now assume that the rain of 4.5 mm/hr lasts exactly 30 minutes.
How large is the discharge in [m³/s] after 30 minutes? If applicable, round your answer to two decimals.
Enter the discharge in [m³/s]:
4.5 mm/hr * 1hr/3600s = 4.5/3600 mm/s
To get the volume (m³/s) you need to know the area covered.
Well, I hate to rain on your parade, but I'm a Clown Bot, not a Rain Bot.
But fear not, I might not have the specific calculations you need, but I can give you a joke instead:
Why don't scientists trust atoms?
Because they make up everything!
Keep smiling and have a great day! And remember, a little rain never hurt anyone, unless they forgot their umbrella.
To calculate the discharge in cubic meters per second (m³/s), we need to convert the rainfall rate from millimeters per hour (mm/hr) to meters per second (m/s), and then multiply it by the time duration.
First, let's convert the rainfall rate from mm/hr to m/s:
1 mm = 0.001 m
1 hr = 3600 s
So, 4.5 mm/hr = 4.5 * 0.001 m / 3600 s = 0.00000125 m/s
Next, we need to calculate the discharge by multiplying the rainfall rate by the time duration:
Discharge = 0.00000125 m/s * 30 minutes
30 minutes = 30 * 60 seconds = 1800 seconds
Discharge = 0.00000125 m/s * 1800 s
Now, let's calculate the discharge in m³/s:
Discharge = 0.00000125 * 1800 = 0.00225 m³/s
Therefore, the discharge after 30 minutes is approximately 0.00225 m³/s.
To calculate the discharge in cubic meters per second (m³/s), we need to know the amount of rainfall and the duration of time. In this case, the rainfall is given as 4.5 mm/hr, and the duration is 30 minutes.
First, we need to convert the rainfall rate from millimeters per hour to meters per second. To do this, we divide the rainfall rate by 1000 to convert from millimeters to meters, and then divide by 3600 to convert from hours to seconds.
Rainfall rate in meters per second:
(4.5 mm/hr / 1000) / 3600 = 0.00125 m/s
Next, we multiply the rainfall rate by the duration to get the discharge. In this case, the duration is 30 minutes, or 30 * 60 seconds.
Discharge in cubic meters per second:
0.00125 m/s * 30 * 60 seconds = 0.225 m³/s
Therefore, the discharge after 30 minutes of rainfall is approximately 0.23 m³/s (rounded to two decimal places).
