Water flows from the base of rectangular tank, of depth 16 meters. The rate of flow of the water is proportional to the square root of depth at any time t . If depth is 4 ~m when t =2 hours, then after 3.5 hours the depth (in meters) is
Options
- A0
- B0.25
- C0.5
- D3
Correct answer
B. 0.25
Step-by-step solution
Given that d x dt x d x dt = a x , for real number a d x x = adt 2 x = at + c When t =0, x=16 (i) c =8 (i) becomes 2 x = at +8 When t =2, x=4 (ii) a =-2 (ii) becomes 2 x =-2 t+8 when t =3.5 (iii) x=0.25 ~m
