Problem

A large cylindrical tank of cross-sectional area A=10 m2A = 10\,\text{m}^{2} has a small orifice of area a=0.01 m2a = 0.01\,\text{m}^{2} at the bottom. Water is initially at a height of 4 m4\,\text{m}. Calculate the time required for the water level to drop from 4 m4\,\text{m} to 1 m1\,\text{m}. Take g=10 m/s2g = 10\,\text{m/s}^{2}.
