3. 20 cm h cm Figure 2 A bowl with circular cross section and height 20 cm is shown in Figure 2. The bowl is initially empty and water starts flowing into the bowl. When the depth of water is h cm, the volume of water in the bowl, V cm3, is modelled by the equation V = 1 2 (h + 4) 0 h 20 3 h Given that the water flows into the bowl at a constant rate of 160 cm3 s−1, find, according to the model,
