Troubleshooting Leaking Water: Expert Tips to Solve the Problem

[chemic_23]

I'm stuck please help me... thanks

Didn't they also give you the water level in the tank? I think you need that as well.

 

[chemic_23]

no, they didn't :(

It isn't labelled in a diagram or anything? Their mistake, I think. Then suppose the water level of the tank is L above the vertex (you can plug in the number for L later). Can you express the rate in terms of L?

 

[chemic_23]

v=1/3 pi r^2h

substitute r= 3h/2

V= (3pi h^3)/4

d/dt ( V = (3pi h^3) / 4 )

R= (27pi/8)h^2 + 0.5

is this right?

Looks fine to me.
