Solution Summary
The solution gives all mathematical steps. The flow rates of rectangular open tanks are determined.
Solution Preview
Volume = length * height * breadth
But here the units are in inches so we have to convert them to a standard unit first.
we know that 1 inch = 0.0254 meters
So the dimensions of the tank are,
4.5*0.0254 = 0.1143 m wide
3 * 0.0254 = 0.0762 m deep
6 * 0.0254 = 0.1524 m long
===> the volume ...
