19. Cusec is a unit of :

a) Area
b) Time
c) Distance
d) mass
e) None of these

Cusec is a measure of flow rate and is informal shorthand for cubic feet per second (28.317 litres per second). In the United States it is generally applied to water flow, particularly in rivers. Other informal synonyms are cfs and second-feet.
1 ft3s-1 = 0.028316847m3s-1 1 ft3s-1 = 1 cusec
1 ft3s-1 = 28.316847 litre s-1 1 cubic foot per minute = 1 cufm
1 cufm = 1.699m3h-1 1 cufm = 28.32 litre min-1
1 gallon per minute = 0.7577 litre s-1 1 gallon per minute = 7.577x10-5m3s-1
