(b) Water is pumped into a tank at a constant rate of 10m3 per second. It’s sucked
out of the tank through a small hole at a rate given by 2V (t)m3 per second,
where V (t) is the volume of water (in m3 ) present in the tank at time t ≥ 0 (in
seconds).
i. If the volume of the water in the tank at time t = 0 is 20m3 , how much water
does the tank hold at time t = 1s?
ii. If the situation described is allowed to go indefinitely, will the tank eventually
dry up? What will happen? Explain?
