constant rate of 10lt/s. The base of the tank has
width, w= 10m and length, 1 = 15m. If the volume
of the tank is given by V = wxlxh where h repre-
sents the height of the tank, what is the rate of

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1
meter^(3) = 1000 liters

150 meter base

150 * 1000 = 150,000 liters to go up one meter

150,000 / 10 liters per second = 15,000 seconds to go up one meter

or

6
(2)/(3) *
10^(-7) meters
sec^(-1) :/ not too much huh
