Homework Statement
A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2m contains water to a depth of 0.8m.
A circular hole is made at the bottom of the tank with diameter 0.2m.As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5000Pa at the surface of the water.
Ignore viscosity.How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank?
Homework Equations
Bernoulli's equation
Continuity equation
The Attempt at a Solution
I have no idea how to approach a problem like this in general but here is what i thought:
I can calculate water flow through a small hole using
[tex]
dV/dt=A\upsilon
[/tex]
Now
[tex]
dt=dV/A\upsilon
[/tex]
and integrate both sides to get t.
Unfortunately, I get nowhere.Units do not match and so on.I don't know if this is even conceptually right.
Now a friend of mine says i should watch out for dh/dt rate, but I can't see how is that useful
