Problem

A garden sprinkler is fixed at a point and sprays water up to a distance of 10 m10\,\text{m}. It oscillates continuously from 30∘30^{\circ} east of north to 30∘30^{\circ} west of north and back, completing 15 such full swings every minute. Use π=227\pi=\tfrac{22}{7}. (i) Find the area of the ground watered in one complete swing. (ii) Determine the total area watered in 30 minutes30\,\text{minutes}. (iii) If the lawn requires a water depth of 6 mm6\,\text{mm}, calculate the total volume of water (in litres) delivered in the 30 minute30\,\text{minute} period. [1 m3=1000 litres1\,\text{m}^{3} = 1000\,\text{litres}]
