Answer:
Hence , in a century<u> 0.342 liters</u> of the liquid will drip.
Explanation:
The rate of the flow of the liquid droplet is given by:
<u>Unit conversion:</u>
We need to change mL/hr into Liter/century
1 L = 1000 mL (given)
1 mL = 0.001 L......(1)
1 century = 100 year
1 year = 365 days
So, 1 century = 100 x 365 days = 36500 days
1 day = 24 hrs
So , 36500 days = 36500 x 24 hr = 876000 hr
Hence ,
1 century = 36500 days = 876000 hr
we are not asked to calculate the answer in days
1 century = 876000 hr
1 hr = 1/ 876000 century
.....(2)
From (1) and (2) put the value in the given formula:
This is for 1 mL/hr to 1 L/century
Now for 300 mL/hr . the rate will be more , multiply the answer by 300
Rate = 0.342 Liters / century
Hence , in a century 0.342 liters of the liquid will drip.
