Homework Statement
To fill a child's inflatable wading pool you use a garden hose with a diameter of 2.8 cm. Water flows from this hose with a speed of 1.1 m/s. How long will it take to fill the pool to a depth of 32 cm if it is circular and has a diameter of 2.7 m?
Homework Equations
delta m=p1 A1 v1 delta t
(p=density, A=area, v=velocity, t=time)
A1 v1=A2 v2
Q=A v
idk if there is another equation that deals with time, i can't find any.
The Attempt at a Solution
since everything is dealing with water, i didn't really consider density.
the amount of water needed:
V= pi r^2 h=pi (1.35)^2 (.32)= 1.83 m^3
the area of the hose is:
A= pi r^2= pi (.014)^2= 6.16e-4 m^2
Q=A v=6.16e-4 (1.1)=6.78e-4 m^3/s
mass flow rate= .6776 kg/s
i don't really know where to go from here...
