The remaining amount of oil in the container after 7.5 seconds if the opening is near the longer side where it lands. b. The remaining amount of oil in the container after 20 seconds if the opening is near the longer side where it lands. c. The remaining amount of oil in the container after 7.5 seconds if the opening is near the shorter side where it lands.
