Water leaks from a cylinder with axis vertical through a small orifice in its base at a rate proportional to the square root of the volume remaining any time. If the cylinder contains 64 gal. initially and 15 gal. leak out the first day, when will 25 gal. remains? How much will remain at the end of 4 days? Ans. 3 days, 16 gal.
