A plugged dishwasher sink with the dimensions of 15 in. ✕ 19 in. ✕ 9 in. is being filled with water from a faucet with an inner diameter of 1 in. It takes 210 seconds to fill the sink to its rim. Imagine the plug of the sink leaks. If it now takes 230 seconds to fill the sink to its rim, estimate the mass-flow rate of the leak (in lbm/s).  lbm/s
