5. an aquaculture tank is used to grow fish and generates a significant amount of debris and particulate matter during operation. the wastewater from this system can be used as plant fertilizer, but the particles must be removed via settling prior to use in the hydroponic growing system (a system of long, rectangular troughs that are used for cultivating plants). given the parameters here, answer the following questions:

- the flow rate into the hydroponic system is 15 l/min.

- the temperature of the water is 15 °c.

- the particles are uniform and spherical, 15 µm in diameter.

- the average particle density is 1.8 g/cm3.

a. if plants are grown on hydroponic troughs that are 1.25 m wide, and no sedimentation tank is built, how far along the troughs (horizontal distance) will the particles travel before settling?
