Chapter 4, Problem 99P
Design a clepsydra (Egyptian water clock), which is a vessel from which water drains by gravity through a hole in the bottom and that indicates time by the level of the remaining water. Specify the dimensions of the vessel and the size of the drain hole; indicate the amount of water needed to fill the vessel and the interval at which it must be filled. Plot the vessel radius as a function of elevation.
