EXAMPLE Leaking Tank. Outflow of Water Through a Hole (Torricelli's Law)
This is another prototype engineering problem that leads to an ODE. It concerns the outflow of water from a
cylindrical tank with a hole at the bottom. You are asked to find the height of the water in the tank at any time
if the tank has diameter 2 m, the hole has diameter 1 cm, and the initial height of the water when the hole is
opened is 2.25 m. When will the tank be empty?
