Answer:
time required = 26 min
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve this, let's first list all the given information, and change the units to millimeters (mm) if required (because the discharge rate is given in mm/s):
○ diameter of pipe = 64 mm ⇒ radius = 32 mm
○ water discharge rate = 2.05 mm/s
○ diameter of tank = 7.6 cm = 76 mm ⇒ radius = 38 mm
○ height of tank = 2.3 m = 2300 mm.
Now, let's calculate the cross-sectional area of the pipe:
Area = πr²
⇒ π × (32 mm)²
⇒ 1024π mm²
Next, we have to calculate the volume of water transferred from the pipe to the tank per second. To do that, we have to multiply the pipe's cross-sectional area and the discharge rate of the water:
Volume transferred = 1024π mm² × 2.05 mm/s
⇒ 6594.83 mm³/s
Now. let's find the volume of the cylindrical tank using the formula:
Volume = π × r² × h
⇒ π × (38)² × 2300
⇒ 10433857 mm³
We know that 6594.83 mm³ of water is transferred to the tank every second, so to fill up 10433857 mm³ with water,
time required = [tex]\frac{10433857 \space\ mm^3}{6594.83\space\ mm^3/s}[/tex]
⇒ 1582.12 s
⇒ 1582.13 ÷ 60
≅ 26 min
Answer:
26 minutes
Step-by-step explanation:
The rate of filling the tank matches the rate of discharge from the pipe. Each rate is the ratio of volume to time. Volume is jointly proportional to the square of the diameter and the height.
Volume
For some constant of proportionality k, the volume of discharge in 60 seconds from the pipe is ...
V = k·d²·h . . . . d = diameter; h = rate×time
V = k(0.64 dm)²(0.0205 dm/s × 60 s) = k·0.503808 dm³
For the tank, the height (h) is the actual height of the tank. The volume of the tank is ...
V = k(0.76 dm)²(23 dm) = k·13.2848 dm³
Proportion
Then the proportion involving (inverse) rates is ...
time/volume = (fill time)/(k·13.2848 dm³) = (1 min)/(k·0.503808 dm³)
fill time = 13.2848/0.503808 min ≈ 26.369

Additional comments
1 dm = 100 mm = 10 cm = 0.1 m
1 dm³ = 1 liter, though we don't actually need to know that here.
We have used 1 decimeter (dm) as the length unit to keep the numbers in a reasonable range. We have worked out the rate numbers, but that isn't really necessary (see attached).
__
The value of k is π/4 ≈ 0.785398. We don't need to know that because the values of k cancel when we solve the proportion.
