Answer to Problem 6P
Total time taken by outlet pipe to empty the tank is 18 hours.
Explanation of Solution
Given information :
Inlet pipe can fill the pipe in 6 hr.
When outlet pipe is open it takes 9 hr.
Let us take the total capacity of the tank as 18 units.
Hence the inlet pipe fills
Total units per hour filled when both inlet and out let pipe are opened is
Hence here we can determine that the outlet pipe is empting the tank at the rate of
Hence the total time taken by outlet pipe to empty the tank is
