500 persons are taking a dip into a cuboidal pond which is 80 m long and 50 m broad. What is the rise of water level in the pond, if the average displacement of the water by a person is 0.04m3?
According to the question,
Average displacement by a person = 0.04 m3
Average displacement by 500 persons = 500 × 0.04 = 20 m3
Hence, the volume of water raised in pond = 20 m3
It is also given that,
Length of pond, l = 80 m
Breadth of pond, b = 50 m
Height = h
Volume of water raised in pond = 80(50)(h)
20 m3 = 4000h
h = 0.005 m = 0.5 cm
Therefore, raise in the height of water = 0.5 cm.
