You are the chief civil engineer for the enhanced protein


You are the Chief Civil Engineer for the Enhanced Protein Production Plant on the planet Zog where the gravitational constant is 15 ft/s2. A protein storage tank has developed a structural problem and must be drained. There is a 6 inch diameter orifice near the bottom of the tank that can be opened, which will allow a free discharge (Torocelli experiment) of the liquid protein from the tank. You estimate that the coefficient of discharge (CD) for this orifice is 0.5. The tank is a truncated cone whose diameter is 15 ft at the centerline of the orifice and 5 ft at the top of the tank which is 10ft above the orifice and the tank is completely full . Estimate the time, in minutes, required to drain the tank to the level of the orifice.
