Question

1. A dairy processing plant needs a steady flow of 100 L of water per minute from 9:00am to 5:00pm, 7 days a week. They use no water outside of those hours. To meet their demand, they would like to pump water at a constant rate to rooftop storage tanks, 24 hours a day a. (20 pts) How much storage (i.e., how much balance volume) will be required? b. (1 0 pts) The roof can only support 1,500 kg per square meter. Assume the weight of the empty tanks is negligible, and that the maximum amount of water you need to store is the amount you calculated in part A. What is the minimum required cross-sectional area of your tanks? Use 1,000 kg/m2 as the density of water. (There are 1,000 liters in a cubic meter.)
