Homework Statement
A cylindrical tank of diameter 2R contains water to a depth d. A small hole of diameter 2r is opened in the bottom of the tank. r<<R, so the tank drains slowly. Find an expression for the time it takes to drain the tank completely.
Homework Equations
[tex]p_1+\frac{1}{2}ρv_1^2+ρgh_1=p_2+\frac{1}{2}ρv_2^2+ρgh_2\\
Q=vA=\frac{\delta V}{\delta t}[/tex]
The Attempt at a Solution
I believe, since ##p_1## and ##p_2## are the same, that Bernoulli's equation becomes ##2\rho gd=v_2^2##. I am assuming I need to use the equation of volume rate of flow for time, but then I would need the velocity ##v_2##. But how do I solve for time from that? How am I to find Q?
