An ideal (non-viscous) liquid with a density of ! is poured into a cylindrical vessel with a cross-sectional area of A1 to a level at a height h from the bottom. The bottom has an opening with a cross-sectional area A2 . Find the time it takes the k=liquid to flow out.

Very confused!

Any help would be much appreciated!

what you mean  k= liquid to flow out?

anonymous · Answer

I think it is a typo- i just copied the question from the problem set. It should be just liquid, I think.

anonymous · Answer

ok.. lets say the hole was A1 only.. then can you tell how long would it take to flow out?!

anonymous · Answer

would it be the volume of the cylinder divided by the flow rate? (assuming it is constant)

anonymous · Answer

the flow rate woudln't be constant now woudl it?!.. cause of acceleration due to gravity right?!

anonymous · Answer

ah, yes- I did not think of that

anonymous · Answer

I'm not really sure 
- sorry
