The flowing water through a cylindrical pipe with internal diameter 7 cm at the speed of 192.5 liter per minute is collecting in a vessel. Find the speed of water in km/h \(\left( \pi =\frac { 22 }{ 7 } \right) \)

Answer»

Given,

Diameter of cylindrical pipe = 7 cm

∴ Radius (r) = \(\frac { 7 }{ 2 }\) = 3.5 cm = 0.035 m and the volume of flowing water in one minute = 192.5 liter

∴ The volume of flowing water in one hour 

= 192.5 × 60 liter

\(\frac { 192.5\times 60 }{ 1000 } \) m3

= 11.55 m3 …….(i)

Let the speed of the water in pipe be x km./h

∴ Length of flowing water in one hour (h) = x m

∴ Volume of water flowing in one hour = πr2

\(\frac { 22 }{ 7 }\) × (0.035)2 × x

= 0.00385 × x m3 …….(ii)

From equation (i) and (ii) we get

0.00385 × x = 11.55

⇒ x = \(\frac { 11.55 }{ 0.00385 }\)

⇒ x = \(\frac { 1155000 }{ 385 }\)

⇒ x = 3000 m

\(\frac { 3000 }{ 1000 }\) km = 3 km

Hence the speed of water in the pipe = 3 km/h
