This Q I am struggling with:
A flask has 50 millilitres of water in it. A tap is turned on and in 10 seconds the flask is filled. The volume flow rate, R, of water is given by:
R=2(10-t), where R is measured in millimetres per second.
a) Draw a sketch of graph R against t.
b) At what rate is water flowing into the flask after 2 seconds.
c) Find a formula for volume in terms of time.
d) How much does the flask hold in millimetres?
e) How long does it take to half fill the bottle.
I did attempt the first two parts but aren't sure if they are right. I think I'm getting confused because R is really dR/dt as it's a rate right? And there's millimetres and millilitres mixing together :S
