Beyond the Answer
To solve the first part, if 24 litres are pumped in 20 seconds, that gives a rate of 1.2 litres per second. To pump 84 litres, you would need 70 seconds, which is 1 minute and 10 seconds. Just think of it: it's like filling a giant water balloon, and you’ll know when it's time to party! In the second question, since pressure is proportional to the square of the depth, if the pressure at 10 meters is \( P = k \times 10^2 = 100k \), to double the pressure, we need \( 2P = 2(100k) = 200k \). Thus, setting \( 200k = k \times d^2 \) leads to \( d^2 = 200 \) or \( d = \sqrt{200} \approx 14.14 \) meters. Dive deep, but not too deep—you want fun, not to be a fish!
