A cowboy at a dude ranch fills a horse trough that is 1.53 m long, 61 cm wide, and 42 cm deep. He uses a 2.0-cm-diameter hose from which water emerges at 1.66 m/s. How long does it take him to fill the trough?

Respuesta :

Answer:

It takes him 751.39 seconds to fill the trough

Explanation:

The flow rate  = Velocity of the hose × cross sectional area of the hose.

Q = V×A................................... Equation 1

Where Q = flow rate, V = velocity, A = cross sectional area.

Given: V = 1.66 m/s,

A =πd²/4, Where d = 2.00 cm = 0.02 m.

Therefore, A =  3.143(0.02)²/4 = 0.0003143 m²

Substituting these values into equation 1

Q = 1.66×0.0003143

Q = 0.0005217 m³/s.

Time taken to fill the trough = Volume of the trough/flow rate.

t = V/Q.......................................... Equation 2.

Where V = volume of the trough, Q = flow rate.

Given: Q = 0.0005217 m³/s, V = length×width×height = l×w×h, l = 1.53 m, w = 61 cm = 0.61 m, h = 42 cm = 0.42 m.

V = 1.53×0.61×0.42 = 0.392 cm³

Substituting these value into equation 2,

t = 0.392/0.0005217

t = 751.39 seconds.

Thus it takes him 751.39 seconds to fill the trough

The time taken for the cowboy to fill the ranch is 12.53 min.

The given parameters;

  • length of the ranch, L = 1.53 m
  • width of the ranch, w = 61 cm = 0.61 m
  • depth of the ranch, h = 42 cm = 0.42 m
  • diameter of the hose, d = 2 cm
  • radius of the hose, r = 1 cm
  • speed of the water, v = 1.66 m/s

The volume of the ranch is calculated as follows;

V = Lwh

V = 1.53 x 0.61 x 0.42

V = 0.392 m³

The area of the hose is calculated as follows;

[tex]A = \pi r^2 \\\\A = \pi \times (0.01)^2\\\\ A= 0.000314 \ m^2[/tex]

The volumetric flow rate of the water is calculated as follows;

Q = Av

[tex]\frac{V}{t} = Av\\\\t = \frac{V}{Av} \\\\t = \frac{0.392}{0.000314 \times 1.66} \\\\t = 752.1 \ s\\\\t = 12.53 \min[/tex]

Thus, the time taken for the cowboy to fill the ranch is 12.53 min.
