Question 829487: A 500 L tank is being filled with water at a rate of 5 m3/hr. At the moment when the tank has 200 L of water in it, a leak happens in the bottom and gets progressively worse over time. The rate of leakage can be estimated at 0.25t (in m3/hr) from the point where the leak begins. What is the time when the tank is full?
