Question

Spherical water tank of radius R = 5m is emptied through a small circular hole of radius r = 0.03 m at the bottom. The top of the tank is open to the atmosphere. The instantaneous water level h in the tank (measured from the bottom of the tank, at the drain) can be determined from the solution of the following ODE:

dh /dt =r²(2gh)^0.5/ 2hR-h²
where g = 9.81 m/s². If the initial (t = 0) water level is h=6.5 m, compute the time required to drain the tank to a level of h= 0.5m. Use the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method.

Answer 1

water level is h=6.5 m, compute the time required to drain the tank to a level of h= 0.5m. Use the fourth-order Runge-Kutta method.
