A cylindrical can of radius 10 millimeters is used to measure rainfall in Stormville. The can is initially empty, and rain enters the can during a 60-day period. The height of water in the can is modeled by the function S, where ()St is measured in millimeters and t is measured in days for 060.t≤≤ The rate at which the height of the water is rising in the can is given by ()()2 sin 0.031.5.Stt′=+(a) According to the model, what is the height of the water in the can at the end of the 60-day period? (b) According to the model, what is the average rate of change in the height of water in the can over the 60-day period? Show the computations that lead to your answer. Indicate units of measure.
