Answer

$16min$

Work Step by Step

We know that $v_{pool}=\frac{\frac{1}{4}\pi d_{hose}^2}{\frac{1}{4}\pi d_{pool}^2}v_{hose}=(\frac{d_{hose}}{d_{pool}})^2v_{hose}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $v_{pool}=(\frac{0.029}{2.0})^2(1.3)=2.7\times 10^{-4}\frac{m}{s}$ Now we can find the required time as $t=\frac{h}{v_{pool}}$ We plug in the known values to obtain: $t=\frac{0.26}{2.7\times 10^{-4}}=960\times (\frac{1min}{60s})=16min$
