    Physics Problem, Please help
    An Olympic swimming pool is roughly 45 m long and 33 m wide.

    How long will it take to fill such a pool with an ordinary garden hose?

    AMHD doesn't do homework. That's policy.

    However - isn't the water flow part of this equation?

    You need to supply the depth of the pool,the diamater of the hose,the pressure of the water supply
    Or my guess is overnight,plus 3 hours and 17 minutes

    45 m long? Does your book really says that? I'm really surprised, because it has a standard: it has to be 50 m. Record breaking relies a lot on specific measurements and here it's the distance.

    Would it be good to say someone broke a 100 m athletics sprint record on a pitch roughly 100 m long? I think not.
