Thanks guys. I appreciate your input.

Just to make sure, I'm referring to a reservoir. The example in the text uses a reservoir of cubic shape with a circular exit at the bottom, A1. If the shape was a funnel of cone shape would V1 be the same if A1, A2 and the height difference was the same as with a cubic reservoir? Thanks.

Thanks a lot alphysicist. Would a cone design have the same exiting velocity as a cubic design, both with the same top and bottom area and with equal height?

Homework Statement Torricelli's thereom is v = sqroot(2g(y2-y1)) where the velocity at the top is negligable compared to the velocity at the bottom (v). If the velocity at the top is considered (v2) then v1A1=v2A2 is substituted into Bernoulli's to give v1 =...
