A specialized coolant storage tank has a depth of 20 cm20\text{ cm}20 cm. The tank is initially empty and a liquid refrigerant is pumped into it. When the depth of the refrigerant is h cmh\text{ cm}h cm, the volume of the liquid in the tank, V cm3V\text{ cm}^3V cm3, is modelled by the equation

V=15h2(h+15)0≤h≤20 V = \frac{1}{5}h^2(h + 15) \quad 0 \le h \le 20 V=51​h2(h+15)0≤h≤20

The refrigerant is pumped into the tank at a constant rate of 350 cm3 s−1350\text{ cm}^3\text{ s}^{-1}350 cm3 s−1. According to the model:

a.

calculate the time taken to fill the tank to its maximum depth.

[2]
b.

determine the rate of change of the depth of the liquid, in cm s−1\text{cm s}^{-1}cm s−1, at the instant when h=10h = 10h=10.
