Answer:
Q= 8
The amount emptied is 8 gallons of water
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to create the equation for the above statement.
Q is directly proportional to the square of d
Q= kd²
Q= 50
d= 5
50= k5²
50 = k25
K = 50/25
K = 2
K is the constant of proportionality.
Now our equation is
Q= 2d²
Where Q = volume in gallons
d = pipe diameters in inch
For a pipe of diameter 2 inch
The amount of gallons of water emptied assuming the same kinf of flow is
Q= 2d²
Q= 2(2)²
Q= 2(4)
Q= 8
The amount emptied is 8 gallons of water
