Initially the tank is full, and the depth of the water is 50 cm . Water flows out of a small hole at the bottom of the tank. The rate at which the water flows out is modelled by \(\frac { \mathrm { d } V } { \mathrm {~d} t } = - 2 h\), where \(V \mathrm {~cm} ^ { 3 }\) is the volume of water remaining and \(h \mathrm {~cm}\) is the depth of water in the tank \(t\) seconds after the water begins to flow out. Determine the time taken for the tank to become empty.
[0pt] [For a cone with base radius \(r\) and height \(h\) the volume \(V\) is given by \(\frac { 1 } { 3 } \pi r ^ { 2 } h\).]
