Here volume of water in the tank V is in litres, flow rate in fin is in litres per hour, flow rate out fout is.
in litres per hour and time t is in hours. Initially, the tank contains 50L of water: V(0) = 50.
(a) Assume the rainfall throughout the day is getting heavier, such that, fin(t) = 10 + t and
that the tank is losing 10% of its volume of water per hour, such that, fout (V) = 0.1V. Check by
direct substitution that the function
V(t) = 10(t + 5e-0.1t)
satisfies the ODE and the initial condition.
(b) Now assume that the hole is slowly growing in size, so that the flow rate out increases
with time:
fout (V, t) = 0.1(1 + 0.1t) V.
Solve the ordinary differential equation for V(t) with this flow rate out, using either separation of
variables, or the integrating factor method. Make sure to also include the initial condition.
