Navier strokes theorem

The Attempt at a Solution


May I ask why would there suddenly a "h" in the highlighted part?
"h" wasnt existed in the previous steps, which C2=0 shouldn't add height of the liquid as a constant in the formula...
thanks

The oversight occurs earlier, where it should say:

So that the constant in Eqn (2) is
##C_1\ =\ \dfrac{\rho g}\mu h\sin α##

That's following the ##U## being potential energy and so extending the ##U = mgh## to factor in the ##sin (\alpha)## right?
 
I followed the maths until I saw where the author had forgotten to transcribe an h[/color].
