The flow rate of water into a vat is given by r(t)={6for 0≤t≤3,2tfor t>3,r(t)=\begin{cases} 6 & \text{for } 0\le t\le 3,\\ 2t & \text{for } t>3, \end{cases} where r(t)r(t) is measured in liters per minute and tt in minutes. The vat is initially empty at t=0t=0. Determine the time t>0t>0 at which the accumulated volume of water in the vat first reaches 3030 liters.
