combined rate is 15 litres per minute.
amount in 6 min = 6(15) = 90 litres.
volume in tank = 2400h cm^3, where h is the height
= 2.4h litres, since 1000 c^3 = 1 litre
so 2.4h = 90
h = 90/2.4 cm = 37.5 cm <--- the depth of water after both taps ran for 6 minutes
b) Does the leak happen after the 90 litres are filled and the taps are turned off?
Does the leak happen right from the start?
Whichever, the leak will be 12 litres, so you will have to decide what to do with that.
An empty rectangular tank with a base are of 2400 cm2 is filled with water from two taps.one tap can fill the tank with 12 liters of waTer per minute while the other tap can do it at 3 liters per minute.
a. what will be the depth of water in the tank after both taps are turned on for 6 minutes?
B.if water leaks from the tank at 2 liters per minute for 6 minutes,what will be the depth of water in the tank?
