Answer:
16 minutes
Explanation:
This is an example of a class of problems in which two quantities start with different initial values and change at different rates. In such problems, the rates of change are generally ones that cause the values to converge.
The question usually asks when the values will be the same. The generic answer is, "when the difference in rates makes up the difference in initial values."
Here the tanks differ in initial fill height by 12 -8 = 4 ft. The rates of change differ by 0.5 -0.25 = 0.25 ft/min. The more filled tank is draining faster (important), so the fill heights will converge after ...
(4 ft)/(0.25 ft/min) = 16 min
The level in the two tanks will be the same after 16 minutes.

The oil levels at that time will be 4 ft.
You can write two equations for height:
y = 12 -0.5x . . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank A)
y = 8 -0.25x . . . . . . height in feet after x minutes (tank B)
These will be equal when ...
y = y
12 -0.5x = 8 -0.25x
4 = 0.25x . . . . . . . . . . add 0.5x -8
16 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . multiply by 4 . . . . time to equal height
The graph shows when the tanks will have equal heights and when they will be drained.
Answer:per minute from the pumping well, a steady state was attained in about 24 hr. The draw-down at a distance of 10 ft. was 5.5 ft. and at 25 ft. was 1.21 ft.

Answer:
Schematics
Explanation:
A schematic is a detailed structured diagram or drawing. It employs illustrations to help the viewer understand detailed information on the machine or object being described. Its main aim is not to help the observer know what the object looks like physically. It is rather aimed at helping the viewer know how the machine works. This is achieved by only including key and important details to the drawing.
It is most times used in the blueprint and user guides of machines and gadgets used in the home to help users know how these things work so that they can do little fixings should there be such needs.

Explanation:
There are three points in time we need to consider. At point 0, the mango begins to fall from the tree. At point 1, the mango reaches the top of the window. At point 2, the mango reaches the bottom of the window.
We are given the following information:
y₁ = 3 m
y₂ = 3 m − 2.4 m = 0.6 m
t₂ − t₁ = 0.4 s
a = -9.8 m/s²
t₀ = 0 s
v₀ = 0 m/s
We need to find y₀.
Use a constant acceleration equation:
y = y₀ + v₀ t + ½ at²
Evaluated at point 1:
3 = y₀ + (0) t₁ + ½ (-9.8) t₁²
3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²
Evaluated at point 2:
0.6 = y₀ + (0) t₂ + ½ (-9.8) t₂²
0.6 = y₀ − 4.9 t₂²
Solve for y₀ in the first equation and substitute into the second:
y₀ = 3 + 4.9 t₁²
0.6 = (3 + 4.9 t₁²) − 4.9 t₂²
0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₂²)
We know t₂ = t₁ + 0.4:
0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁ + 0.4)²)
0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − (t₁² + 0.8 t₁ + 0.16))
0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (t₁² − t₁² − 0.8 t₁ − 0.16)
0 = 2.4 + 4.9 (-0.8 t₁ − 0.16)
0 = 2.4 − 3.92 t₁ − 0.784
0 = 1.616 − 3.92 t₁
t₁ = 0.412
Now we can plug this into the original equation and find y₀:
3 = y₀ − 4.9 t₁²
3 = y₀ − 4.9 (0.412)²
3 = y₀ − 0.83
y₀ = 3.83
Rounded to two significant figures, the height of the tree is 3.8 meters.
