Chapter 12, Problem 12.78P

Your uncle is in the below-deck galley of his boat while you are spear fishing in the water nearby. An errant spear makes a small hole in the boat’s hull, and water starts to leak into the galley, (a) If the hole is 0.900 m below the water surface and has area 1.20 cm², how long does it take 10.0 L of water to leak into the boat? (b) Do you need to take into consideration the fact that the boat sinks lower into the water as water leaks in?
