It can take 12 hours to fill a swimming pool using two pipes. If the pipe of larger diameter is used for 4 hours and the pipe of smaller diameter for 9 hours, only half the pool can be filled. How long would it take for each pipe to fill the pool seperately?

Selvi's house has an overhead tank in the sphase of a cylinder. This is filled by pumping water from a sump (an underground tank) which is in the shape of a cuboid. The sump has dimensions 1.57 mxx1.44m xx95 cm . The overhead tank has its radius 60cm and height 95 cm. Find the hieght of the water left in the sump after the overhead tank has been completely filled with water from the sump which had been full. Compare the capacity of the tank with that of the sump (Use pi=3.14)

A large open tank has two holes in the wall. One is a square hole of side L at a depth y from the top and the other is a circular hole of radius R at a depth 4y from the top. When the tank is completely filled with water, the quantities of water flowing out per second from both holes are the same. Then, R is equal to

To demonstrate, "black surface absorbs more heat as compared to a white surface". Apparatus - Materials : Conical flasks, water, thermometer Procedure : rarr Take two conical flasks and paint one white and the other black. rarr Fill water in the both flask. rarr Place the conical flasks in direct sunlight for half an hour to one hour. rarr Measure the temperature of the water in both conical flask with a thermometer. In which ways this finding can be used in our daily life ?
