Step 1
The dimensions of the tank are given as 12 m x 6 m x 4 m. Volume = length $\times$ width $\times$ height Volume = $12 \text{ m} \times 6 \text{ m} \times 4 \text{ m} = 288 \text{ m}^3$ Show more…

Question #2: (6 marks) A 8000 litre water tank originally contains 5400 litres of water. At time t=0 an inflow is opened, and water is added to the tank at a constant rate. a) Which of the following graphs A-D for Volume (in litres) in terms of time (in minutes) best fits this situation? Justify your answer with a brief written explanation. Your answer (and why): b) Suppose water is added at a constant rate of 36 litres per minute. Write an equation for the volume of water V (in litres) in terms of time passed t (in minutes): c) Use your equation to determine after how many minutes the tank will be full. Show steps and write your final answer as a full sentence.
