pein os bow4, (40 pts.) On the next page, sketch the level response for a tank with constant cross-sectional area
of 4 ft as a function of time undergoing the following sequence of events; assume an initial level
of 1.0 ft with the drain open, and that level and outflow rate are linearly related, The steady-state
inflow and outflow are initially equal to 2 ft min. The graph should show key numerical values,
of level vs. time, Show supporting calculations using steady-state and dynamic equations below.
: You can do the calculations for each part as if starting from =0. Then you ean renumber
the time axis based on actual clock time.
