The room in Problem 3 is filled with a sponge that can hold water. Water flows into and out of the volume, as shown. If V3 = 0.02 m3/s, m1 = 40 kg/s, and V2 = 1.2 m/s, the rate at which the mass of the water changes in the volume is nearest:

A) 79 kg/s
B) 69 kg/s
C) 59 kg/s
D) 49 kg/s


A) 79 kg/s

Following the steps that result the conservation of mass requires



We have used the density of water as ? = 1000 kg/m3, the nominal value used if temperature information is not given. ( ? = 1/v = 1/0.001001 = 999 kg/m3. The density of water is most often used as 1000 kg/m3, unless otherwise stated.)
