Figure 1 shows the central vertical cross section \(A B C D\) of a paddling pool that has a circular horizontal cross section. Measurements of the diameters of the top and bottom of the paddling pool have been taken in order to estimate the volume of water that the paddling pool can contain.
Using these measurements, the curve \(B D\) is modelled by the equation
$$y = \ln ( 3.6 x - k ) \quad 1 \leqslant x \leqslant 1.18$$
as shown in Figure 2.
- Find the value of \(k\).
- Find the depth of the paddling pool according to this model.
The pool is being filled with water from a tap.
- Find, in terms of \(h\), the volume of water in the pool when the pool is filled to a depth of \(h \mathrm {~m}\).
Given that the pool is being filled at a constant rate of 15 litres every minute,
- find, in \(\mathrm { cmh } ^ { - 1 }\), the rate at which the water level is rising in the pool when the depth of the water is 0.2 m .
