Hurricane: a type of storm called a tropical cyclone, which forms over tropical or subtropical water.
The ocean water evaporates caused by heat from the sun. The evaporating water forms a cloud of warm, moist air that moves upward. Then, as the warm, moist air rises, more air rushes into replace it.
Hurricanes form near the equator over warm oceans.

Tornado: a mobile, destructive vortex of violently rotating winds having the appearance of a funnel-shaped cloud and advancing beneath a large storm system.
Most tornadoes form from thunderstorms. You need warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico and cool, dry air from Canada.

A rectangular tank measuring 12 m length, 8 m width and 6 m height is being filled with water at a rate of 550 Literminute−1 . W

marusya05 [52]

Answer:

It will take 720 minute to fill the tank

Explanation:

We have given that length of rectangular tank l = 12 m

Width w = 8 m

Rate at which water is filled in the tank = 550 l/min

And rate at which water come out from the tank = 150 l/min

So net rate of filling the tank = 550-150 = 400 l/min

Height up to which we have to fill the tank h = 3 meter

So volume of the tank $V=12\times 8\times 3=288m^3$

We know that $1m^3=1000liters$

So $288m^3=288000liters$

So required time to fill the tank $time=\frac{288000}{400}=720 minute$
