Question

Maria is filling a bucket of water from a faucet. After she turns it on, she sees that the cross-sectional area of the water stream right below the faucet is about the size of a quarter, or 4.62×10^4 m2. The stream constricts to about the size of a dime, or 2.52×10^4 m2, after falling 2.50 cm. If the bucket Maria is filling has a volume of 10.0 L, how long will it take to fill the bucket?
