A container has a base of $50 \mathrm{~cm} \times 5 \mathrm{~cm}$ and height $50 \mathrm{~cm}$, as shown in the figure. It has two parallel electrically conducting walls each of area $50 \mathrm{~cm} \times 50 \mathrm{~cm}$. The remaining walls of the container are thin and non-conducting. The container is being filled with a liquid of dielectric constant 3 at a uniform rate of $250 \mathrm{~cm}^3 \mathrm{~s}^{-1}$. What is the value of the capacitance of the container after 10 seconds?

[Given: Permittivity of free space $\epsilon_0=9 \times 10^{-12} \mathrm{C}^2 \mathrm{~N}^{-1} \mathrm{~m}^{-2}$, the effects of the non-conducting walls on the capacitance are negligible]
