mo 13c) Suppose that you had a leak in a water pipe that was dripping water on a ceiling at a rate of 0.400 L per day, If the drywall has a thickness of 1.25 em and a density of 0.970 g/em', how long will it take for the water to dissolve a hole in the drywall with a diameter of 1.200 cm?

Explain your choice in two sentences or less. (3 pts) 1) it would take more time to dissolve the hole t would take less time to dissolve the hole 3) the time to dissolve the hole would not change

Explanation / Answer

Rate of dripping water = 0.4 L/day

Thickness of drywall = 1.25 cm

Density of drywall = 0.97 g/cm3

Hole diameter = 1.2 cm

Volume of water in the hole = 3.14 x (1.2)2 / 4 x 1.25 = 1.413 cm3

Flowrate of water = 400 cm3/day

Time required = 1.413 / 400 x 24 x 60 = 5.08 min
