(Solved)
The depth of the water in a rectangular swimming pool increases uniformly from 1M at the shallow
end to 3.5m at the deep end. The pool is 25m long and 12m wide. Calculate the volume of the pool
in cubic meters.
The pool is emptied by a cylindrical pipe of internal radius 9cm. The water flows through the pipe at speed of 3 metres per second. Calculate the number of litres emptied from the pool in two minutes to the nearest 10 litres. (Take π = 3.142)

(Solved)
A racing cyclist completes the uphill section of a mountain course of 75 km at an average speed of v km/hr. He then returns downhill along the same route at an average speed of (v + 20) km/hr. Given that the difference between the times is one hour, form and solve an equation in v.
Hence
a. Find the times taken to complete the uphill and downhill sections of the course.
b. Calculate the cyclists average speed over the 150km.
