Given: Reser Stadium A fire hose Find: The time required to fill Reser Stadium with a fire hose (assuming no leaking or seeping during the process)
Estimates Estimate7 days5 Days3.5 Days3 Days
Method/Approach Found the estimated volume of Reser Stadium by breaking it up into basic geometric shapes. Estimated how fast a fire hose pumps out water. Divided the estimated volume by the amount of water per minute pumped out by the fire hose and converted that answer into days.
Assumptions Fire hose=100 gallons of water/minute Dimensions for Reser Stadium: Width: 75 Yards Length: 150 Yards Height: 75 Yards
Solution Volume=(150*75*75)+(75*25)+((4*pi*25^2)/2) V= Yd^3 V/100= min. = hr. =5.98 Days
