A plastic tube allows a flow of 13.4 cm^3
/s of
water through it.
How long will it take to fill a 215 cm^3
bottle
with water?
Answer in units of s
To solve this problem, we need to calculate the time it takes to fill a 215 cm^3 bottle with water when the flow rate is 13.4 cm^3/s.
We can use the formula:
time = volume / flow rate
Given that the volume of the bottle is 215 cm^3 and the flow rate is 13.4 cm^3/s, we can substitute the values into the formula:
time = 215 cm^3 / 13.4 cm^3/s
To simplify the calculation, we divide the volume by the flow rate:
time = 215 cm^3 ÷ 13.4 cm^3/s
To perform the division, we divide the numbers and divide the units:
time = (215 ÷ 13.4) (cm^3 ÷ cm^3/s)
This simplifies to:
time = 16.044 (s)
Therefore, it will take approximately 16.044 seconds to fill a 215 cm^3 bottle with water.
