\end{figure} Figure 2 shows a cylindrical water tank. The diameter of a circular cross-section of the tank is 6 m . Water is flowing into the tank at a constant rate of \(0.48 \pi \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~min} ^ { - 1 }\). At time \(t\) minutes, the depth of the water in the tank is \(h\) metres. There is a tap at a point \(T\) at the bottom of the tank. When the tap is open, water leaves the tank at a rate of \(0.6 \pi h \mathrm {~m} ^ { 3 } \mathrm {~min} ^ { - 1 }\).
  1. Show that \(t\) minutes after the tap has been opened $$75 \frac { \mathrm {~d} h } { \mathrm {~d} t } = ( 4 - 5 h )$$ When \(t = 0 , h = 0.2\)
  2. Find the value of \(t\) when \(h = 0.5\)
