A swimming pool has to be drained for maintenance. The pool is shaped like a cylinder with a diameter of 5 m and a depth of 1.7 m. Suppose water is pumped out of the pool at a rate of 12 m3 per hour. If the pool starts completely full, how many hours will it take to empty the pool?

Respuesta :

Answer:

2.78hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of water in the pool =πr2h

V = 3.142 * 2.5² *1.7

V = 33.38m³

Emptying the pool out at 12m³ per hour

= 33.38/12

= 2.78hrs
