If a tank holds 3500 gallons of water, which drains from the bottom of the tank in 50 minutes, then Toricelli's Law gives the volume V of water remaining in the tank after t minutes as V=3500(1-(1/50)t)^2       0 ≤ t ≤ 50. Find the rate (in gal/min) at which water is draining from the tank after the following amounts of time. (Remember that the rate must be negative because the amount of water in the tank is decreasing.)   t=5 minutes t=10 minutes t=20 minutes
