Question
A tank in the form of a right-circular cylinder of radius 2 feet and height 10 feet is standing on end. If the tank is initially full of water and water leaks from a circular hole of radius inch at its bottom, determine a differential equation for the height h of the water at time t. Ignore friction and contraction of water at the hole.
Solution
The first step in solving 1 problem number 32 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: A tank in the form of a right-circular cylinder of radius 2 feet and height 10 feet is standing on end. If the tank is initially full of water and water leaks from a circular hole of radius inch at its bottom, determine a differential equation for the height h of the water at time t. Ignore friction and contraction of water at the hole.
From the textbook chapter INTRODUCTION TO DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS you will find a few key concepts needed to solve this.
