Chapter 5, Problem 20SEQ
Explain all answers clearly, with complete sentences and proper essay structure if needed. An asterisk (*) designates a quantitative problem, for which you should show all your work.
Amateur Astronomy:Observing the Moon. Any amateur telescope has adequate resolution to identify geological features on the Moon. The light highlands and dark maria should be evident, and shadowing is visible near the line between night and day. Try to observe the Moon near the first-or third-quarter phase. Sketch or photograph the Moon at low magnification, and then zoom in on a region of interest. Again sketch or photograph your field of view, them label the features and indentify the geological process that created them. Look for craters, volcanic plains and tectonic features. Estimate the size of each feature by comparing it to the size of the whole Moon (radius = 1738 km).

Water is being poured at the rate of 27 m' /min into an inverted conical tank that is 12-meter deep
with a radius of 6 meters at the top. If the water level is rising at the rate of m/min and there is a
leak at the bottom of the tank, how fast is the water leaking when the water is 6-meter deep?
