Question

Jon's bathtub is rectangular and its base is 18 ft2. (a) How fast is the water level rising if Jon is filling the tub at a rate of 0.2 ft3/min? (Round your answer to three decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer:

The water level in the bath tub is rising at a rate of 0.0111 ft/s

Explanation:

Volume of the bath tub = (Area of base) × (height)

Area of base = 18 ft² (constant)

Height = h (variable)

V = 18h

(dV/dt) = 18 (dh/dt)

If (dV/dt) = 0.2 ft³/s

0.2 = 18 (dh/dt)

(dh/dt) = (0.2/18)

(dh/dt) = 0.0111 ft/s
