A rectangular trough is 10 ft. long and 3 ft wide.
Find how fast the surface , if water flows in
at the rate of 12 cu.ft. per min.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To find the rate of increasing water level in the trough,
divide the inflow rate of 12 cu.ft by the area of the through 10*3 = 30 sq.ft.
You will get the answer
the rate of increasing water level in the trough = = ft/minute = 0.4 ft/minute.
