A swimming pool holds 480,000 liters of water. The pool has two drainage pipes. When the pool is completely full, the first pipe

alone can empty it in 160 minutes, and the second pipe alone can empty it in 240 minutes. When both pipes are draining together, how long does it take them to empty the pool?

The answer is 96 min, here is why:

x / 240 + x / 160 = 1 
<span>2x + 3x = 480 </span>
<span>5x = 480 </span>
<span>x = 96 min

(</span><span>Drainage rate of first pipe = 480000/240 = 2000 l/min </span>
<span>Drainage rate of second tube = 480000/160 = 3000 l/min </span>
<span>Combined drainage rate = 5000 l/min </span>
<span>Time to drain = 480000/5000 = 96 min. )</span>

What is the slope of the line given by the equation below?<br><br>y = 5x - 6
Bogdan [553]
Slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.
For the equation y = 5x - 6, m = 5, meaning that the slope of the line is 5.

85.87 J or heat energy is added to a 34.8 g mass of substance the temperature rises from 21.76°C
Andru [333]

Answer:

The required specific heat is 196.94 joule per kg per °C  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The heat generated = Q = 85.87 J

Mass of substance  (m)= 34.8 gram = 0.0348 kg

Change in temperature = T2 - T1 = 34.29°C - 21.76°C = 12.53°C

Let the specific heat = S

Now we know that

Heat = Mass × specific heat × change in temperature

Or, Q = msΔt

Or, 85.87 = (0.0348 kg ) × S × 12.53°C

Or , 85.87 = 0.4360 × S

Or, S = \frac{85.87}{0.4360}

∴ S = 196.94 joule per kg per °C

Hence the required specific heat is 196.94 joule per kg per °C   Answer
