A vertical cylindrical tank 2m diameter has at the bottom a


A vertical cylindrical tank 2m diameter has, at the bottom, a 0.05m diameter sharp edged orifice for which the discharge coefficient is 0.6.

a) If water enters the tank at a constant rate of 0.0095 cumecs find the depth of water above the orifice when the level in the tank becomes stable.

b) Find the time for the level to fall from 3m to 1m above the orifice when the inflow is turned off.

c) If water now runs into the tank at 0.02 cumecs, the orifice remaining open, find the rate of rise in water level when the level has reached a depth of 1.7m above the orifice.
