Question

A shop-vac is capable of pulling in air at a rate of 210 ft^3/min. what is the rate of the vacuum's air flow in l/s?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 99.06 .

Since we know that,

1 ft = 12 inches, (1ft)3 = (12)3inches3

& 1 inch = 2.54 cm ,  (1 inch)3 = (2.54)3cm3

& 1 cm3 = 1ml,

&(1 ml)/1000 = 1L, so (1cm3)/1000 = 1L.

& 1 min. = 60 sec.

Now, 1ft3 = (12)3x(2.54)3/(1000) L

and 1 min = 60 sec

So, 1ft3/min = (12)^3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60) L/s

Hence 210 ft3/min = 210x(12^)3x(2.54)^3/(1000)x(60).

= 99.06.
