\end{figure} Fig. 1 shows an open tank in the shape of a triangular prism. The vertical ends \(A B E\) and \(D C F\) are identical isosceles triangles. Angle \(A B E =\) angle \(B A E = 30 ^ { \circ }\). The length of \(A D\) is 40 cm . The tank is fixed in position with the open top \(A B C D\) horizontal. Water is poured into the tank at a constant rate of \(200 \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). The depth of water, \(t\) seconds after filling starts, is \(h \mathrm {~cm}\) (see Fig. 2).
