A parking garage has a single processing booth where cars pay for parking. The garage opens at 6:00 A.M. and vehicles start arriving at 6:00 A.M. at a deterministic rate of Ȝ(t) = 6.1 − 0.22t where Ȝ(t) is in vehicles per minute and t is in minutes after 6:00 A.M. What is the  maximum constant departure rate (from 6:00 A.M. on) needed to ensure that the queue length does not exceed 10 vehicles? Answer in veh/min
