A water tank has vertical sides and a horizontal rectangular base, as shown in the diagram. The area of the base is 2 m2. At time t = 0 the tank is empty and water begins to flow into it at a rate of 1 m3 per hour. At the same time water begins to flow out from the base at a rate of 0.2โˆšh m3 per hour, where h m is the depth of water in the tank at time t hours.

(i) Form a differential equation satisfied by h and t, and show that the time T hours taken for the depth of water to reach 4 m is given by

\(T = \int_0^4 \frac{10}{5 - \sqrt{h}} \, dh.\)

\((ii) Using the substitution u = 5 - โˆšh, find the value of T.\)
