Answer: 12 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = time it takes to fill the pool if the inlet pipe and drain pipe are both open

1/6 = portion of pool filled per hour by the inlet pipe

1/12 = portion of pool emptied per hour by the drain

1/x = portion of pool filled per hour if the inlet pipe and drain are both open

Then, 1/6 - 1/12 = 1/x

Multiply by the LCD, 12x, to obtain

2x - x = 12

x = 12 hours

arlik [135]

Answer:a. [tex] $f\propto  L$ [\tex]

b. [tex] f \propto \sqrt{T} [\tex]

c. [tex] f \propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{P}} [\tex]

I. Decrease in length increases leads to increase in pitch.

II. Increase in tension leads to increase in pitch.

III. Increase in linear density reduces the pitch

Step-by-step explanation: I. Since the frequency is inversely proportional to the length increase in length leads to decrease in frequency likewise decrease in length leads to increase in frequency.

II. Since the frequency is directly proportional to the square root of the tension increase in tension leads to increase in frequency likewise decrease in tension leads to decrease in frequency.

III.since the frequency is inversely proportional to the square root of the linear density so increase in linear density leads to decrease in frequency and likewise decrease in linear density leads to increase in frequency.
