Assume it takes 6.00 min to fill a 20.0-gal gasoline tank. (1 US. gal = 231 in.3

(a) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in gallons per second. 

(b) Calculate the rate at which the tank is filled in cubic meters per second. 

(c) Determine the time interval, in hours, required to fill a 1.00-m3 volume at the same rate. (1 U.S. gal 231 in.3

Answer #1

a] rate = 20 gal/[6*60s] = 0.05555 gal/s

b] rate = 0.05555 gal/s = 0.05555*3.7854e-3 m^3/s = 0.0002103 m^3/s

c] time required = V/rate = 1/0.0002103 = 4755s = 1.321 h
