4.6.70 The water clock (clepsydra) shown in Fig. P4.6.70 is an ancient device for measuring time by the falling water level in a large glass container. The water slowly drains out through a small hole in the bottom. Determine the approximate shape R(z) of a container of circular cross section required for the water level to fall at a constant rate of 5cmhr if the drain hole is 1.5 mm in diameter. What size container (h and R0) permits the clock to run for 24 hr without refilling?
