Water in a canal 6m wide and 1.5 m deep is flowing with a speed of 10 km per hour how much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes if 8 cm is standing water is needed
Answers
speed (S) = 10 km / hr
= 1000000cm/60 min
= 50000cm/3min
time(T) = 30 min
CANAL
B= 6m = 600 cm
H = 1.5m = 150 cm
FIELD
h= 8 cm
area = a
S*T*B*H = a*h
50000 X 30 X 600 X 150 / 3 = 8a
a= 506250000cm^2
a= 50625m^2
Water in a canal 6m wide and 1.5 m deep is flowing with a speed of 10 km per hour how much area will it irrigate in 30 minutes if 8 cm is standing water is needed
Width of Canal = 6m
Depth of Canal = 1.5 m
Speed of water = 10 km/hr
= 1000/60 m/min
Volume of water in 1 min = 6 × 1.5 × 1000/60
= 1500 m³
Therefore, the volume of water in 30 min
= (30 × 1500) m³
= 45000 m³
Let the area of irrigated field be A m²
Therefore, volume of water from Canal in 30 min = volume of water in the field
Hence, it irrigates 562500 m² in 30 min.
I hope it helps you ^_^
