Torricelli's Law Water in a tank will out of a small hole in the bottom when tank is nearly full than when it is nearly empty. According to Torricelli's Law, the Height h(t) of water remaining at time t is a quadratic function of t. A certain tank is filled with and allowed to drain. The height of Water is measured at different times as shown in the table. (a) Find the quadratic polynomial that best fits data. (b) Draw a graph of the polynomial from part(a) together With a scatter plot of the data. (c) Use your graph from part (b) to estimate how long it takes for the tank to drain completely.
