Hence 10 cm is the thickness of the bottom of the cistern



(06) A rectangular water tank is 80 m * 40 m. Water flows into it through pipe 40 sq cm at the opening at the speed of 10 Km/Hr. By how much the water level will rise in half an hour?

Volume of room formula

Hence 20 cu. meter volume of water flows through the pipe into the tank.

Now the rise in tank’s water level can be calculated as:

Volume of rectangular cube

The water level rises by 5/8 cm in half an hour.
