What volume of water will escape per minute from an open-top tank through an opening $3.0 \mathrm{~cm}$ in diameter that is $5.0 \mathrm{~m}$ below the water level in the tank?
An empty rectangular tank measures 50 cm by 30 cm by 20 cm. It is to be filled with water from a tap. (a) How many liters of water are needed to fill up the tank? (b) If water flows from the tap at the rate of 12 liters per minute, how long will it take to fill up the tank? (1 liter = 1000 cm3) 20 cm 30 cm 50 cm

The level of water in an Olympic-size swimming pool $(50.0 \mathrm{m} \text { long, } 25.0 \mathrm{m} \text { wide, and about } 2 \mathrm{m}$ deep ) needs to be lowered $3.0 \mathrm{cm} .$ If water is pumped out at a rate of $5.2 \mathrm{L}$ per second, how long will it take to lower the water level $3.0 \mathrm{cm} ?$
