A cylindrical tank with an horizontal circular base is leaking. At time "t" minutes, the depth of oil in the tank is "h" meters. It is known that h = 10 when t = 10, and that h = 5 when t = 40.
a) Alan assumes that the rate of change of h with respect to t is constant. Under his assumption, find an expression for h in terms of t.
b) Bhavana assumes that the rate of change of h with respect to t is proportional to h. Under her assumption, find an expression for h in terms of t.
c) Find, in each case, the value of h when t = 60.
d) Briefly explain which assumption you would use.
please try to help me solve it
