 a liquid flows into a horizontally-oriented, cylindrical tank at a rate

a liquid flows into a horizontally-oriented, cylindrical tank at a rate qi=qj(t)[m3/min]. the length of the cylinder is L[m] and its radius is R[m]. let h=h(t)[m] be the liquid level in the tank. Figure 1 : initially empty, horizontally-oriented, cylindrical tank (length L, radius R ) with inlet low rate qi. (a) develop a dynamic model for h=h(t) in the form of a differential equation in h(t) subject to an initial condition. the cylinder is initially empty. (b) suppose qi is constant. does the liquid level h(t) increase faster early or late in the tank-filling process? [trick question... explain.]
