This figure is not drawn to scale. A rectangular glass tank 72 cm by 50 cm by 35 cm has 2 compartments, X and Y, with a water height of 30 cm in X and 15 cm in Y. A hole in the slider caused water to leak from X to Y. It was found that the water level in both compartments became the same after some time.
  1. What is the height of water in the tank now?
  2. It took 112 h for the water in both compartments to reach the same level. Assuming that water leaked at a constant rate, how much water flowed from X to Y in 1 minute? Express the answer to 1 decimal place in cm³.

A tank measuring 50 cm by 20 cm by 22 cm, with some cubes placed inside, was filled with 3.875 ℓ of water to the height as shown in Figure 1. Some water was then added into the tank to the height as shown in Figure 2. The total volume of water in the tank then became 8.375 ℓ. What was the volume of one cube?

Nick placed three empty containers side by side. The smallest container has a crack at the bottom of its side and the base area of each container is 18 cm2. After he turned on the faucet for 68 minutes, the height of the water in the smallest container became 8 cm although 0.8 mℓ of water is leaking out of the crack per minute. Find the rate of flow of water from the faucet. Give the answer in mℓ/min.
