The rectangular base of the prism, shown shaded in the diagram, is horizontal.
The container is completely full of water.
Tuah is going to use a pump to empty the water from the container so that the volume of water in the
container decreases at a constant rate.
The pump starts to empty water from the container at 10 30 and at 12 00 the water level in the container
has dropped by 20 cm.
Find the time at which all the water has been pumped out of the container.
