every 1mm depth in rain gauge reading is equivalent to 1 liter per square meter, so if the intensity is 10mm/hr, means that the total rainfall in 1 hectare area is 100 cubic meters. from RPAE 006150
The only way to know for certain how many people will have a problem
Rainfall of 100 mm means 100 mm depth of rain falls over any area. 1 cu m = 1,000 l 1,000 mm = 1 m Volume = area x depth = 200 sq m x 100 mm = 200 sq m x 100 ÷ 1,000 m = 20 cu m = 20 x 1,000 l = 20,000 litres
This is a clever problem. It sounds really complicated, but that's only becauseit's actually two simple problems rolled into one.The two problems are:1). Volume of a rectangular prism2). Volume of a cylinderBefore we get started, let's make sure you remember the formulas for both ofthose volumes:1). Rectangular prism . . . V = (length) x (width) x (height)2). Cylinder . . . Volume = (pi) x (radius)2 x (height)The attack is:-- Figure out the volume of the water that rained onto the roof.-- Realize that the same volume poured into the cylindrical tub.-- Figure out how deep that much water fills the cylinder.At this point, the hard part is done! The problem is as good as solved.-- 1.2 cm of rain falls on the 10m x 5.5m rectangular roof. How much water is sitting on the roof ?Volume = L x W x H = (10m) x (5.5m) x (0.012 m) = 0.66 cubic meter of water-- Now pour that water into the cylinder with 3m diameter. How deep is it ?Volume = (pi) x (radius)2 x (height) .We need to find the height, so solve this formula for the height.Divide each side of equation by (pi) x (radius)2 :Height = Volume / (pi) x (radius)2The volume is the 0.66 m3 that poured off of the roof.The radius is 1/2 of the diameter = 1.5m .So Height = (0.66)/(pi) x (1.5)2 = 0.09337 meter = 9.337 cm.
multiply it Length- Width - Height , or measure the volume of a container of water then stick the object in and measure the volume of the object+water then subtract the volume of the water then you have the volume
