A cylindrical tank 5 * high has a constant diameter of 4' is full of water. The tank has a hole in its bo]om that measures 0.1ft^2. All losses are insignificant. How long will it take for the tank to empty? Note that you can NOT assume a staLc head and constant flow rate because the water head in the tank decreases as the water flows out of the tank (A) 35 sec (B) 70 sec (C) 105 sec (D) 140 sec
Use g=32.2 */sec2 (9.81 m/s2
) and 60°F (16°C) water unless told to do otherwise.
