A tank, which usually takes 5 hours to be filled, takes 6 hours to fill because of a leak. Find the time in which the leak can empty the tank if it is filled and the inlet pipe is shut.
(Volume filled per hour - volume leaked per hour)* 6 = volume of cistern.
From here leaked per hour I will find out then ,
leaked per hour * total time taken for empty = volume of cistern
Volume of cistern= any volume assume then 30 hours .
I have assumed that inlet is much faster than leaked but can leaked be faster than inlet ?
I think if i assume so here -> ( (Volume filled per hour - volume leaked per hour)* 6 = volume of cistern.)
value will be negative thats why inlet is much faster than leaked
