Problem

A cylindrical tube is fitted coaxially at one of its ends into a hole made at the centre of a large disc. The structure is held firmly at a height hh above a horizontal floor, keeping plane of the disc horizontal. When an incompressible non-viscous fluid of density ρ\rho is fed at a constant rate μ\mu (kg/s\text{kg/s}) into the tube completely filling the tube, the fluid spreads evenly in all directions in the gap between the disc and the floor. Find radius rr of the fluid spreading in the gap as a function of time tt.
