Question

Suppose that electricity is draining from a capacitor at a rate that is proportional to the voltage V across its terminals and that, if t is measured in seconds, dV/dt = -V/40. Solve this equation for V, using V_0 to denote the value of V when t = 0. How long will it take the voltage to drop to 10% of its original value?
