An oil tanker aground on a reef is forming a circular oil slick about 0.1 foot thick (see the figure). To estimate the volumetric rate  (in cubic feet per minute) at which the oil is leaking from the tanker, it was found that the radius of the slick was increasing at 0.32 foot per minute when the radius R was 500 feet.
