one liter is 1000 cm^3
Since the base has an area of 50cm^2, it takes 50cm^3 to cover it to a depth of 1 cm.
So, at 12000cm^3/min, the water level is rising at
(12000cm^3/min)/50cm^2 = 240cm/min
A water tank has the shape of a rectangular prism of base 50 cm2. This tank is being filled at the rate of 12 liters per minutes. Find the rate at which the height of the water in the water tank increases; express your answer in millimeters per second.
I have no idea how to do this...Can anyone help me?
