A tank is filled with water up to the height H0. At the bottom of the tank, there is a tap which is opened at t=0. How does the height of liquid change with time?(Hint: dH/dt is proportional to -H)

This is a typical C4 differential equation question. The same algorithm could be used for a lot of other problems.

First of all, from the hint we have that dH/dt = -kH (1).

We need to separa...
