How Does Water Flow Rate Change Over Time in a Draining Cylinder?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around calculating how the flow rate of water changes over time as it drains from a cylinder. The cylinder has a height of 5.5 meters and a radius of 1 meter, with a hole located 0.5 meters from the bottom. The user seeks to determine the flow rate and its rate of change concerning time, specifically as the water height decreases. The equations mentioned involve the relationship between the volume of water, flow rate, and the height of the fluid. The user requests assistance in solving these equations to find the derivatives of flow rate and height over time.

Homework Statement


Ok, so the height of the cylinder is 5.5 meters. The radius is 1 meters.
There is a hole, .5 meters from the bottom(5 meters from the top), its radius is .02 meters.

The question is how fast does water flow out, relative to time(this because the height of the water keeps dropping, so the flow rate decreases). [/B]

Thank You :)

Homework Equations


Am i doing it right?
If i am, can you please solve it(i can't quiet figure it out)?
Please give the rate of change of the flowrate(dflowrate/dt).
Also, rate of change of height(dh/dt).
[/B]

The Attempt at a Solution


Height = total volume - (integral sign) flowrate dt
flowrate = (cross sectional area * Velocity(

) * density

dflowrate/dt = (deritive of the expression above)[/B]

Suppose that h(t) is the height of the fluid level in the cylinder at time t, and R is the radius of the cylinder. What is the volume of fluid in the cylinder V(t) at time t?

Thread 'Collision of a bullet on a rod-string system: query'
In this question, I have a question. I am NOT trying to solve it, but it is just a conceptual question. Consider the point on the rod, which connects the string and the rod. My question: just before and after the collision, is ANGULAR momentum CONSERVED about this point? Lets call the point which connects the string and rod as P. Why am I asking this? : it is clear from the scenario that the point of concern, which connects the string and the rod, moves in a circular path due to the string...
