A tank has a constant cross-sectional area of $50 \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ and an orifice of constant cross-sectional area of $\frac{1}{2} \mathrm{ft}^{2}$ located at the bottom of the tank (see the accompanying figure). If the tank is filled with water to a height of $h \mathrm{ft}$ and allowed to drain, then the height of the water decreases at a rate that is described by the equation $$ \frac{d h}{d t}=-\frac{1}{25}\left(\sqrt{20}-\frac{t}{50}\right) \quad(0 \leq t \leq 50 \sqrt{20}) $$ Find an expression for the height of the water at any time $t$ if its height initially is $20 \mathrm{ft}$

Key Concepts

Differential Equations

Differential equations are mathematical relationships that relate a function and its rate of change. They are essential in modeling physical phenomena where a quantity's rate of change depends on the quantity itself or on time, such as the draining of a tank.

Initial Value Problems

An initial value problem involves a differential equation paired with a condition specifying the value of the solution at a starting point. This condition allows for the determination of any constants that arise during the integration process, ensuring a unique solution that fits the physical scenario.

Separation of Variables

Separation of variables is a method used to solve first-order differential equations. It involves organizing the equation so that each variable and its differential are on opposite sides of the equation, enabling the integration of each side independently. This method is particularly useful when the rate of change can be expressed as a product or quotient of functions of different variables.

Related Rates in Fluid Dynamics

Related rates problems in fluid dynamics involve determining how one quantity, such as the height of a liquid in a container, changes with time as a function of other related measurements like cross-sectional areas or flow rates. In the given problem, this concept is applied to model the draining process of water from a tank with a constant cross-sectional area and a specific orifice size.
