Q: oil flows through a pipe at a rate of 40m3/sec. how long will it take to fill a tank of volume 1.2x10^5m3?
Answered by bobpursley
volume=rate*time

time= volume/rate=1.2E5m^3/(40m^3/sec)
= .030E5=3.0E2sec

Surely you don't believe 50 seconds.

volume=rate*time=40m^3/sec * 50 sec=2000m^3

1.2*10^5m^3 / 40m^3=3000s = 50 minutes.
