Abstract

Resource Image We model the emptying of water from a spherical tank. First, we pump out water at a constant rate. Second, we allow the water to exit through a small hole in the bottom of the tank. We seek to determine how fast the water level is falling in both cases.

Description

Furthermore, we seek to determine the size of the small hole at the bottom so that the time it takes for all the water to run out of the spherical tank is the same as the time it takes to pump the water out at a constant rate.
