Answer:
R = 2524 quarts/s
Step-by-step explanation:
Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 8600 cubic meters per hour.
We know that,
1 m³ = 1056.69 quarts
1 hour = 3600 s
Rate of flow of water = 8600 cubic meters per hour
[tex]R=8600\ \dfrac{m^3}{h}\\\\=8600\times \dfrac{1056.69\ \text{quarts}}{3600\ s}\\\\=2524.311\ \text{quarts/s}[/tex]
or
R = 2524 quarts/s
So, the rate of flow of water is 2524 quarts/s.
