Paper 2, Section I, A
Consider an axisymmetric container, initially filled with water to a depth . A small circular hole of radius is opened in the base of the container at .
(a) Determine how the radius of the container should vary with so that the depth of the water will decrease at a constant rate.
(b) For such a container, determine how the cross-sectional area of the free surface should decrease with time.
[You may assume that the flow rate through the opening is sufficiently small that Bernoulli's theorem for steady flows can be applied.]
