SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the volume of water flowing out of a small opening using the formula V = Svt, where V represents the volume, S is the cross-sectional area of the opening, and v is the velocity of the water. Participants emphasize the importance of providing initial attempts at solving the problem to receive effective guidance. The conversation highlights the need for clarity in problem statements to facilitate better assistance.

You are not telling us much about the problem...

Anyway if ##v## is the velocity of the water in the opening and ##S## is the cross section area of the opening then the amount of water that flows out in time ##t## is ##V=Svt##.
