An oil tank has to be drained for maintenance. The tank is shaped like a cylinder that is 5 ft long with a diameter of 1.8 ft . Suppose oil is drained at a rate of 2.1 ft3 per minute. If the tank starts completely full, how many minutes will it take to empty the tank? Use the value 3.14 for π , and round your answer to the nearest minute. Do not round any intermediate computations.
