TopicFirst order differential equations (integrating factor)
TypeSeparable with partial fractions
DifficultyStandard +0.8 This is a multi-step applied differential equations problem requiring chain rule manipulation, partial fractions decomposition, separation of variables, and logarithmic integration with initial conditions. While each individual technique is standard C3/C4 material, the combination of modeling context, algebraic manipulation, and the need to work through several connected parts makes this moderately challenging—above average but not requiring novel insights.

\end{figure} Figure 4 shows a hemispherical bowl containing some water.
At \(t\) seconds, the height of the water is \(h \mathrm {~cm}\) and the volume of the water is \(V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\), where $$V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi h ^ { 2 } ( 30 - h ) , \quad 0 < h \leqslant 10$$ The water is leaking from a hole in the bottom of the bowl. Given that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - \frac { 1 } { 10 } V\)
  1. show that \(\frac { \mathrm { d } h } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - \frac { h ( 30 - h ) } { 30 ( 20 - h ) }\)
  2. Write \(\frac { 30 ( 20 - h ) } { h ( 30 - h ) }\) in partial fraction form. Given that \(h = 10\) when \(t = 0\),
  3. use your answers to parts (a) and (b) to find the time taken for the height of the water to fall to 5 cm . Give your answer in seconds to 2 decimal places.

Figure 4 shows a hemispherical bowl containing some water.\\
At $t$ seconds, the height of the water is $h \mathrm {~cm}$ and the volume of the water is $V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }$, where

$$V = \frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi h ^ { 2 } ( 30 - h ) , \quad 0 < h \leqslant 10$$

The water is leaking from a hole in the bottom of the bowl.

Given that $\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - \frac { 1 } { 10 } V$
\begin{enumerate}[label=(\alph*)]
\item show that $\frac { \mathrm { d } h } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - \frac { h ( 30 - h ) } { 30 ( 20 - h ) }$
\item Write $\frac { 30 ( 20 - h ) } { h ( 30 - h ) }$ in partial fraction form.

Given that $h = 10$ when $t = 0$,
\item use your answers to parts (a) and (b) to find the time taken for the height of the water to fall to 5 cm . Give your answer in seconds to 2 decimal places.
