Signed: _____________________________ Date: ________________________ BRIEF Bill and Susan live up on Mount Tamborine. They are looking to do some renovations to their property, redesigning their backyard with a garden and a pool. Bill and Susan's backyard would benefit from a small attractive garden, as so far their backyard is just lawn, with no other features. Hence, their first task is to put together a garden design. When designing a pool, Bill and Susan will have to consider their water supply. People living on the mountain have water tanks. Rain falls on the surface of the roof, flows into the gutters and from there into pipes that lead into the water tanks. At times, when insufficient rain falls, the mountain people have to order water that is delivered by water trucks and pumped into the tanks. PART A The following diagram shows some approximate dimensions of their backyard. This diagram is NOT drawn to scale. 1. Design a garden to go in Bill and Susan's backyard. Sketch your garden design with clearly labelled dimensions on the diagram of the backyard provided on page 7. You will need to consider how the garden from Part A will fit in the backyard with your chosen pool design for Part B. 2. Bill and Susan find out from a landscaping company that they need to order one cubic metre of mulch per 12m2 of garden area. The company will deliver in multiples of half a cubic metre of mulch. a. What is the area of your garden? b. How many cubic metres of mulch will they need to order? Show full working and justify your answer. 3. Bill and Susan want to put in a wooden border around the garden edges. The wood edging they are buying from the landscaping company is sold in 5m rolls. a. Determine how many rolls they need to buy, giving mathematical justification for your answer. b. State any assumptions made. PART B 1. Design a small but reasonably sized pool for Bill and Susan. There needs to be a deep end and a shallow end. Draw two sketches of the pool, showing all dimensions. The bird's eye view must be drawn onto the provided diagram of the backyard on page 7 along with the garden from Part A, and you must also provide a separate sketch of the cross-section of the pool. 2. Bill and Susan will be tiling the inner walls of the pool. Calculate the surface area they need to tile. 3. a. Calculate the volume of water that would fill the pool. b. Determine the capacity of the pool and justify the units used. 4. Bill and Susan will not fill the pool from their tank but will have to get the water truck to fill their pool. The water truck can pump water into the pool at a flow rate of 890 L/min. How long it would take to fill the pool to the brim? Express your answer in appropriate units. 5. State any assumptions made and any limitations to your solutions to Part B. PART C The roof of Bill and Susan's house has a surface area of m2. They have a cylindrical water tank with a diameter of 4180 mm and a height of 3050 mm. As a guide to collection capacity, consider that each 1 mm of rain = 1 Litre (L) of water per square metres (m2) of roof area, then allow 15% wastage factor. (Water sometimes gushes over the side of the gutters if Bill does not clean the gutters). 1. Use the information above to determine the height the water in their tank will rise by, if they receive 30mm of rain in a particular day. 2. State any assumptions made and any limitations to your solutions to part C. Sketch your garden design in Part A Question 1 and pool design in Part 2 Question 1
