Volume total = 3000 litres
grand débit de lance = 2000 litres par minute
débit de la petite lance = 500 litres par minute
Débit net = 2000+500=2500 litres par minute
Temps total nécessaire pour vider le réservoir = \frac{total\,volume}{net\,flow\,rate}=\frac{3000}{2500}=1,2
Ainsi, le temps nécessaire pour vider le réservoir est de 1,2 secondes
