. (a) Do Illustration 2.2-4. An open cylindrical tank with a base area of 1 m2 and a height of 10 m contains 5 m3 of water. As a result of corrosion, the tank develops a leak at its bottom. The rate at which water leaves the tank through the leak is: Leak rate (m3 /s) = 0.5 where P is the pressure difference (in bar) between the water at the base of the tank and the atmosphere. Obtain height (h(t) in m) and mass (M(t) in kg) of water in the tank as a function of time. Include units. (2 pts)

(b) How long would it take for the tank to drain completely? (1 pt)
