The function p(t)p(t) (liters per hour) is continuous on 0≤t≤80\le t\le 8 and represents the rate at which water flows out of a tank (positive values indicate water leaving the tank). Explain what it would mean if ∫08p(t) dt\displaystyle \int_{0}^{8} p(t)\,dt is negative, and state the units of this integral.
