Oil is leaking out of a tanker damaged at sea. The damage to the tanker is worsening, as evidenced by the increased leakage each hour, recorded in the following table. a. Give an upper and a lower estimate of the total quantity of oil that has escaped after 5 hours. b. Repeat part (a) for the quantity of oil that has escaped after 8 hours. c. The tanker continues to leak 720 gal / h after the first 8 hours. If the tanker originally contained 25,000 gal of oil, approximately how many more hours will elapse in the worst case before all the oil has spilled? In the best case?
