Answer

The rate of change for mass is $0.024 kg/s$

Work Step by Step

First we calculate for density $ρ=(0.02g)/(50mm^3)=4\times10^{-4}g/mm^3=4\times10^{-4}kg/cm^3$ Then we solve for the rate of change for mass using $m=ρAh$ area of container $=(14cm)(17cm)=238cm^2$ $\frac{dm}{dt}=(4\times10^{-4}kg/cm^3)(238cm^2)(0.25 cm/s)=0.024kg/s$
