Question

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 8600 cubic meters per hour. Express this rate of flow in quarts per second. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

Answer:

R = 2524 quarts/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Water flows through a pipe at a rate of 8600 cubic meters per hour.

We know that,

1 m³ = 1056.69 quarts

1 hour = 3600 s

Rate of flow of water = 8600 cubic meters per hour

$R=8600\ \dfrac{m^3}{h}\\\\=8600\times \dfrac{1056.69\ \text{quarts}}{3600\ s}\\\\=2524.311\ \text{quarts/s}$

or

R = 2524 quarts/s

So, the rate of flow of water is 2524 quarts/s.
