Ram sailed his ship 50kms away from the shore and suddenly remebers that he has left his cap at the shore and decides to go back to the shore to take his cap but suddenly the ship got hit by something which springs a leak which admits 2.5tonnes of water in 10minutes. 50tonnes of water would suffice to sink the ship, but the pumps can throw out 10tonnes of water in an hour.
