Answer:
0.3 m/s
Step-by-step explanation:
The first thing is to attach the allusive graphic to the question. Now yes, let's move on to the solution that would be:
If the through is completely filtered the its volume will:
V = l * [1/2 w * h] = 1/2 l * w * h
Now we derive with respect to time and we are left with:
dV / dt = 1/2 * l * w * dh / dt
We solve by dh / dt and we have:
dh / dt = (2 / (l * w)) * (dV / dt)
We know that l = 8 and w = 5, in addition to dV / dt = 6, we replace:
dh / dt = (2 / (8 * 5)) * (6)
dh / dt = 0.3
Therefore the rate at which the height of the water changes is 0.3 m / s
