A crude oil pipeline discharge into an oil reservoir tank of capacity one trillion cubic meters at the rate of 11574 cubic meters per sechow long will it take to fill the tank?

Answer 1

First of all ... one trillion cubic meters is kind of a big tank. It's enough to cover the

oil state of Texas to a depth of 1.45 meters !

But of that's the question you want answered, then we can certainly do the math,

even though it's quite clear that the answer has no physical significance and is of

no practical use to anyone.

(1012) / (11,574) = 86,400,553 seconds = 1,000.0064 days

We're guessing that the question should have read "one billion cubic meters".

Then the answer would have been "1 day", with accuracy of 0.00065 %.

That must be where the peculiar number "11574" came from.

Answer 2

It will take approximately 86,464,246 seconds to fill the tank. This can be calculated by dividing the tank's capacity by the rate of discharge: 1,000,000,000,000 cubic meters ÷ 11,574 cubic meters per second = 86,464,246 seconds.
