According to Torricelli´s theorem, the velocity of a fluid discharging through the hole of a reservoir is V=(2gh)^1/2, where h is the height of water above the hole, as shown in the figure. If the hole has a section Ao and the reservoir is cylindrical with a cross-section of area Ab>>Ao.  Obtain a formula for the time it will take for the reservoir to completely empty if the initial height of the water is ho.
