Problem 2(30pts). A cylindrical tank of radius R is filled with water. The initial height
of the water measured from the base of the tank is h0. The density of the water is , and
acceleration of gravity is g.
In order to empty the tank, at time t=0 a hole of radius b is opened at its base. The height
h(t) of the water in the tank is governed by two principles. First, Bernoulli equation 12v2=
gh(t) yields the velocity of the water exiting from the hole. Second, mass conservation
dictates that
ddt([ mass of],[ water in],[ the tank ])=-([ mass flux of],[ water through ],[ the hole ])
(a)[7pts] Using mass conservation and Bernoulli equation derive an ODE for the height of
the water h(t) in the form
dhdt=f(h,t)
