A reservoir's inflow rate is r(t)=20−2tr(t)=20-2t thousand gallons/hour (it decreases as the reservoir fills and feeds a growing counter-outflow). Its volume above the starting level is V(t)=∫0t(20−2s) dsV(t)=\displaystyle\int_0^t(20-2s)\,ds. Find the time t>0t>0 at which VV is maximized, and the maximum volume.
