"A square tank is filled with water and has the following dimensions:
sides = 4 ft.
depth = 6 ft
Find the time for it to empty through a one inch diameter circular hole at the tank’s bottom.
Also, assume the flow factor for ordinary small orifices with sharp edges is 0.6
Once you have solved this problem, try calculating the time for your bathtub to empty from a given depth"
I used Torricelli's law to tackle this and arrived at a solution that seems to be too large (an hour and forty minutes). Is anyone versed in how to approach these types of problems when the size of the emptying orifice is included?.
