100%
A 5-liter bucket takes 30 seconds to fill from a spring source. If the average daily water consumption per person is 60 liters:
A.) Determine the total daily water demand in liters/day of the community of 261 people
B.) Determine the daily yield in liters/day
C.) Determine if its daily yield is sufficient to the water demand of the community of 361 people.
D.) Determine the rate of flow in liters/second.
E.) Determine the number of people in the community so that its daily yield is exactly sufficient to the water demand.
Only round off once in final answer. Round off to 4 decimals.
