Ok, I've been trying to figure this problem out of an old textbook for a couple days but seem to get nowhere.
"A swimming pool with a rectangular surface 18 meters long and 12 meters wide is being filled at the rate of .80m^3/min. At one end it is 1.0 m deep and at another it is 2.5 m deep, with a constant slope between ends. How fast is the height of the water rising when the depth of water at the deep end is 1.0 m??"
Any suggestions on how to set the problem up? I would like to solve it myself, but would like a starting place!
Thanks, Caleb
