If the tank is sitting on its end,
volume= h*PIr^2
dvolume/dt= dh/dt * PI r^2
solve for dh/dt, you know dV/dt
b. volume= ratevolume*time
PI r^2*15=.5 * t solve for time.
Your teacher is too easy.
A cylindrical tank, with height of 15 m and diameter 4m, is being filled with gasoline at a rate of 0.5m^3 / min.
