10 A gardener is filling an ornamental pool with water, using a hose that delivers 30 litres of water per minute. Initially the pool is empty. At time \(t\) minutes after filling begins the volume of water in the pool is \(V\) litres. The pool has a small leak and loses water at a rate of \(0.01 V\) litres per minute.
The differential equation satisfied by \(V\) and \(t\) is of the form \(\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} t } = a - b V\).
- Write down the values of the constants \(a\) and \(b\).
- Solve the differential equation and find the value of \(t\) when \(V = 1000\).
- Obtain an expression for \(V\) in terms of \(t\) and hence state what happens to \(V\) as \(t\) becomes large.
