A tank containing water is in the form of a cone with vertex C. The axis is vertical and the semi-
vertical angle is 60°, as shown in the diagram. At time ¢ = O, the tank is full and the depth of water
is H. At this instant, a tap at C is opened and water begins to flow out. The volume of water in the
tank decreases at a rate proportional to Vi, where / is the depth of water at time ¢. The tank becomes
empty when f= 60.
