Question
How much depth would a lake lose per year if it uniformly covered an area of 80 square kilometers and supplied a local town with a population of 40,000 people? Consider only population uses, and neglect evaporation and so on.
An average family of four uses roughly 1200 liters (about 300 gallons) of water per day. (1 L=1000cm^3)

- An everage family of four uses roughly 1200 liters - about 300 gallons - of water per day. How much depth would a lake lose per year if it uniformly covered an area of 50 quare kilometers and suppied a local town with a population of 40,000 people?arrow_forwardDuring the summer, the height of the water in a pool decreases by 4.25 inches each week due to evaporation.

- A conventional oil barrel (cylindrical in shape) has an internal diameter of 22 inches and a maximum external diameter of 23 inches. The height inside the barrel is 33 inches, with a maximum external height of of 34 inches. if only 92% of the volume of the barrel can be filled, what is this volume in liters?arrow_forward(a) Assuming that each cubic centimeter of water has a mass of exactly 1 g, find the mass of 8.88 cubic meter of water. (b) Suppose that it takes 15.5 hours to drain a container of 87.0 m3 of water. What is the "mass flow rate," of water from the container?arrow_forwardConsider a water reservior. The resrvoir graduallly loses water, because people insist on showering, washing clothes, etc. The "use rate" R is the rate at which consumers use the water. On April 13, between 1pm and 2pm, R is 5-gallons per second. How much water was drained from the reservoir between 1pm and 130pm? At midnight, when everyone was asleep, a big industrial water user suddenly becomes active. Let A denote the amount of water taken from the reservoir (in gallons), with A = 0 at midnight. It turns out that A=2t2 with t expressed in seconds. Given this information, calculate R, the use rate, at t = 10 s.arrow_forward
