(The clepsydra, or water clock) A 12 h water clock is to be designed with the dimensions shown in Fig. 1.4.10, shaped like the surface obtained by revolving the curve y = f(x) around the y-axis. What should this curve be, and what should the radius of the circular bottom hole be, in order that the water level will fall at the constant rate of 4 inches per hour (in./h)? 4 ft `y=f(x) or x= g(y) Water flow FIGURE 1.4.10. The clepsydra.
