Question Number 138217 by otchereabdullai@gmail.com last updated on 11/Apr/21

A rectangular water tank is being filed  at the constant rate of 70lt/s. The   base  of the tank has width w=9m  and length length l=16m if the volume  of the tank is v=w×l×h where h is   the hight of the tank. what is the rate  of change of the hight of water in the  tank

V=wlh  ⇒(dV/dt)=wl(dh/dt)⇒70((litre)/s)=160dcm×90 dcm(dh/dt)  (dh/dt)=((70)/(160×90)).(dm/s)=(7/(14400)).(m/s)

$${V}={wlh} \\ $$$$\Rightarrow\frac{{dV}}{{dt}}={wl}\frac{{dh}}{{dt}}\Rightarrow\mathrm{70}\frac{{litre}}{{s}}=\mathrm{160}{dcm}×\mathrm{90}\:{dcm}\frac{{dh}}{{dt}} \\ $$$$\frac{{dh}}{{dt}}=\frac{\mathrm{70}}{\mathrm{160}×\mathrm{90}}.\frac{{dm}}{{s}}=\frac{\mathrm{7}}{\mathrm{14400}}.\frac{{m}}{{s}} \\ $$
