(choose chapter or problem)

As illustrated in the accompanying figure, the tank of an oil truck is 18 ft long and has elliptical cross sections that are 6 ft wide and 4 ft high. (a) Show that the volume  of oil in the tank (in cubic feet) when it is filled to a depth of  feet is

\(V=27\left[4 \sin ^{-1} \frac{h-2}{2}+(h-2) \sqrt{4 h-h^{2}}+2 \pi\right]\)

(b) Use the numerical root-finding capability of a CAS to determine how many inches from the bottom of a dipstick the calibration marks should be placed to indicate when the tank is \(\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, \text { and } \frac{2}{4}\) full.
