 4-3. A round vented storage vessel with a 10-m inside diameter

4-3. A round vented storage vessel with a 10-m inside diameter sits on top of a concrete pad within a 20-m? diked area to contain any leaks. The tank contains runoff water from a process area. A leak of 10-cm diameter occurs on the side of the vessel located 1 m above the bottom. By the time the leaking flow was stopped, the liquid level in the diked area had reached a height of 0.79 m. Assume pure water for this calculation. a. Calculate the total amount of water spilled into the dike in mand kg. b. What was the original liquid level in the tank, in m? c. If the liquid level in the tank at the end of the spill was 8.5 m above the bottom of the tank, estimate the length of time for the leak, in minutes
