The rainfall recorded on a certain day was 5 cm. Find the volume of water that fell on a 2-hectare field.
It is given that,
Rain recorded in a certain day = 5 cm = 0.05 m
Area of the field = 2 hectare
= 2 × 10000 m2
= 20000m2
Therefore,
Total rain over the field = Area of the field × Height of the field
= 0.05 × 20000
= 1000 m3
