Q:

In the previous question if the floor has micro pores and water penetrates the floor at a constant rate of 0.1kg/m²h, what will be the time required for the water layer to disappear?

A) 3.64h B) 4.73h
C) 5.94h D) 2.36h
 
Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 3.64h

Explanation: Combined rate of disappearance= 0.1+9.259*10-5*3600=0.433kg/m²h
Time for disappearance= 1.578/0.433=3.64h.
