Problem

The cylindrical container in Fig. P3.13 is 20 cm in diameter and has a conical contraction at the bottom with an exit hole 3 cm in diameter. The tank contains fresh water at standard sea-level conditions. If the water surface is falling at the nearly steady rate dh/dt≈−0.072dh/dt \approx -0.072 m/s, estimate the average velocity VV out of the bottom exit.
