Question

If a tank holds 4000 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in 50 minutes, then Toricelli's Law gives the volume V of water remaining in the tank after t minutes as the following.

 

As found earlier, the rate at which the water drains is given by

V'(t) = −160
 
1 −

50
t
 
.

When t = 20, the rate at which the water drains is, therefore,

V'(20) =
t
V = 4000 (1
