Question

An hourglass consists of two sets of congruent composite figures on either end. Each composite figure is made up of a cone and a cylinder, as shown below: Hourglass with sand measuring 45 millimeters high © 2011 Jupiterimages Corporation Each cone of the hourglass has a height of 15 millimeters. The total height of the sand within the top portion of the hourglass is 45 millimeters. The radius of both cylinder and cone is 6 millimeters. Sand drips from the top of the hourglass to the bottom at a rate of 10π cubic millimeters per second. How many seconds will it take until all of the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass?

Answer 1

Answer:

126

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the volume of the cylinder and cone, add that and then multiply 10 times pi, and then divide the sum of the volumes of the cylinder and cone by 10 times pi and you will get 126.

Answer 2

Answer:

It will almost take 136 seconds until all the sand has dripped to the bottom of the hourglass.
