题目
A large cylindrical tank is used to store water. The base of the tank is a circle of radius metres. At time minutes, the depth of the water in the tank is metres. There is a tap at the bottom of the tank. When the tap is open, water flows out of the tank at a rate proportional to the square root of the volume of water in the tank.
(a) Show that , where is a positive constant.
(b) At time the tap is opened. It is given that when and that when .
Solve the differential equation to obtain an expression for in terms of , and hence find the time taken to empty the tank.

一个大型圆柱形水箱用来储水。水箱的底面是半径为 米的圆。在时刻 分钟,水箱内的水深为 米。水箱底部有一个水龙头。当水龙头打开时,水从水箱流出的速率与水箱内水的体积的平方根成正比。
(a) 证明 ,其中 为正常数。
(b) 在时刻 打开水龙头。已知当 时,;当 时,。
解此微分方程,求出用 表示 的表达式,并由此求排空水箱所需的时间。
原卷通用作答要求
Answer all questions. You should use a calculator where appropriate.
You must show all necessary working clearly; no marks will be given for unsupported answers from a calculator.
Give non-exact numerical answers correct to 3 significant figures, or 1 decimal place for angles in degrees, unless a different level of accuracy is specified in the question.
