To set up a differential equation for the depth of water as a function of time, we need to consider the rate at which the water level is dropping due to evaporation.
Let's assume that the rate of evaporation is proportional to the exposed surface area of the water, which is the surface area of the conical section above the water level.
The surface area of a cone is given by A = πrℓ, where r is the radius and ℓ is the slant height.
In this case, the radius remains constant at 1m, so we can write A = π(1)ℓ.
The slant height ℓ can be determined using the Pythagorean theorem. The height of the cone is given by h = 4m, and we are interested in the height of the water, which is decreasing from the initial height of 4m to a final height of 1m after 2 hours.
Let's say the height of the water at any time t is given by y(t) meters. Then, the slant height ℓ at that time is given by:
ℓ = √(h^2 - y^2) = √(4^2 - y^2) = √(16 - y^2).
Now, for the rate of evaporation, let's assume it is proportional to the exposed surface area A. We can introduce a constant of proportionality k, so the rate of change of depth dy/dt will be proportional to the surface area:
dy/dt = -k * A.
Substituting the values of A and ℓ, we get:
dy/dt = -k * π(1)(√(16 - y^2)).
This is the differential equation for the depth of water as a function of time.
To set up an equation for the volume of water as a function of time, we need to integrate the expression for dy/dt over time.
The volume of a conical tank is given by V = (1/3)πr^2h. In this case, the radius remains constant at 1m. So, the volume of water at any time t will be given by:
V(t) = (1/3)π(1)^2y(t).
To find the equation for V(t), we need to integrate dy/dt over time:
∫dy = ∫(-k * π(1)(√(16 - y^2))) dt.
Integrating both sides gives:
y(t) = ∫(-k * π(√(16 - y^2))) dt.
This equation will give the volume of water in the conical tank as a function of time.
