Single Pipe Filling The Tank

Pipes and cisterns 

Pipes are connected to tank or reservoir, or cisterns are used to fill or empty the tank.

Inlet

A pipe or a tap connected with a tank ( or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an inlet, if it fills it.

Outlet

A pipe or a tap connected with a tank (or a cistern or a reservoir) is called an outlet, if it empties it.

Single Pipe Filling The Tank:

Let us consider a situation in which only one pipe is connected to a tank or a reservoir and is filling it. The pipe or tap is the inlet to the tank or reservoir.

Formula:

If a pipe can fill a tank in x h,

Then the part filled in 1 h can be calculated as

Part ;filled ;in; 1 ;h=frac{1}{x}

To calculate the part filled in y h we will multiply it with the part filled in 1 h

Part ;filled ;in; y ;h=frac{1}{x} times y=frac{y}{x}

Illustration: Pipe A can fill a cistern in 12 min. what part of the cistern will be filled in 5 min ?

A. 0.435          B. 0.416          C. 0.521           D. 0.476
