Water leaks out of the bottom of a barrel at a rate proportional to t square root of the depth of the water at that time. If the water level starts at 25 inches and drops to 20 inches in 1 hour, how long will it take for all the water to leak out of the barrel? NOTE: Round your answer to one decimal place. It will take hours for all the water to leak out.
