Answer:
Mass of water fell on the town = [tex]2.58*10^9 kg[/tex]
Explanation:
The mass of one cubic meter water = [tex]10^3kg[/tex]
We need to find volume of water in cubic meter to find total mass fell on the ground.
We know volume = Area* Height
Area = [tex]35 km^2=35*10^6m^2[/tex]
Height = 2.9 inch = 0.07366 m
Volume = [tex]35*10^6*0.07366= 2.5781*10^6m^3[/tex]
Mass of water = [tex]2.5781*10^6*10^3=2.58*10^9 kg[/tex]
