A cylindrical tank of water is 2.0 m in diameter and 3.5 m tall. There is a 2.0 cm diameter hole at the bottom from which water is leaking. A feeder pipe at the top of the tank, 4.0 m above the ground, delivers water at a rate of 0.020 m3/min. If the tank is initially half full, at what rate is the volume of water changing? Assume the tank is open to air at the top. Use a negative rate to indicate a decreasing volume and a positive rate to indicate an increasing volume.

Consider flow from a water reservoir through a circular hole of diameter D = 0.16m at the sidewall at a vertical distance H from the free surface. The flow rate through an actual hole with a sharp-edged entrance (?? = 0.47) is considerably less than the flow rate calculated assuming “frictionless” flow and thus zero loss for the hole. Disregarding the effect of the kinetic energy correction factor, obtain a relation for the “equivalent diameter” of the sharp-edged hole

Determine alsohow long it take to empty the swimming pool completely.
