Water is poured at a constant rate into an initially empty tank that also leaks through a hole in its base. The depth hh (in metres) satisfies h′=1−hh' = 1 - \sqrt{h} (tt in hours), so the depth approaches 11 m. How many hours does it take to reach a depth of 916\dfrac{9}{16} m? Give an exact answer.
