This question carries 20% of the marks for this assignment (approximately 3% of your overall continuous assessment score). It will be assessed according to how well you demonstrate, in your answer, the following learning outcomes: Kn2 Demonstrate knowledge and understanding of some of the mathematical and statistical concepts and principles relevant to the study of science. Kyl Use mathematical skills appropriate to the study of science at this level. This question assesses your understanding of parts of Maths for Science Chapters 2. 4 and 6. Essex is one of the driest counties in England, and water is transferred from the River Oise at Denver in Norfolk to the Alberton Reservoir, near Colchester in Essex, by way of various channels, pipelines and rivers. As part of this process, about 380 megaliters of water per day (24 hours) are pumped into kittling Brook (Figure 2) near its confluence with the River Stosur in Suffolk. How many m^3 of water are pumped into Kittling Brook each hour? You should show your working and give your answer in scientific notation and to two significant figures.

Explanation / Answer

Water is measured in two forms. that is 1. litres and 2. cubic metre (m^3).

and 1 Megalitre = 1,000,000 Litres

The relation between litres to cubic metres is 1 litre = 0.001 m^3

To transfer water from River to Reservoir, 380 Megalitres of water is transfered in a day.

By this rate, 1 day has 24 hours, (380/24) = 15.8333 Megalitres in an hour

Now we want in cubic metres, multiply the above calculated with 0.001

so, 15.8333*10^6*0.001 m^3/hour

= 15833.33 m^3/hour.

this is all. Remaining is intuitive
