10.

A tank containing water is in the form of a hemisphere. The axis is vertical, the lowest point is $A$ and the radius is $r$, as shown in the diagram. The depth of water at time $t$ is $h$. At time $t = 0$ the tank is full and the depth of the water is $r$. At this instant a tap at $A$ is opened and water begins to flow out at a rate proportional to $\sqrt{h}$. The tank becomes empty at time $t = 14$.

The volume of water in the tank is $V$ when the depth is $h$. It is given that $V = \frac{1}{ 3} \pi (3r{h}^{2} − h^3)$.

(a)     Show that $h$ and $t$ satisfy a differential equation of the form
$$\frac{ \mathrm{d}h }{ \mathrm{d}t } = – \frac{B}{ 2r{h}^{\frac{1}{2} } \ – \ {h}^{\frac{3}{2} } }$$
where $B$ is a positive constant.
$$\tag*{[4]}$$
(b)     Solve the differential equation and obtain an expression for $t$ in terms of $h$ and $r$.
