Differential Equations 3 Question 11

11. A hemispherical tank of radius 2m is initially full of water and has an outlet of 12cm2 cross-sectional area at the bottom. The outlet is opened at some instant. The flow through the outlet is according to the law v(t)=0.62gh(t), where v(t) and h(t) are respectively the velocity of the flow through the outlet and the height of water level above the outlet at time t and g is the acceleration due to gravity. Find the time it takes to empty the tank.

Answer:

Correct Answer: 11. 14π×10527g unit

Solution:

  1. Let O be the centre of hemispherical tank. Let at any instant t, water level be BAB1 and at t+dt, water level is BAB1. Let O1OB1=θ.

AB1=rcosθ and OA=rsinθ decrease in the water volume in time dt=πAB12d(OA)

[πr2 is surface area of water level and d(OA) is depth of water level]

=πr2cos2θrcosθdθ=πr3cos3θdθ

Also, h(t)=O2A=rrsinθ=r(1sinθ)

Now, outflow rate Q=Av(t)=A0.62gr(1sinθ)

Where, A is the area of the outlet.

Thus, volume flowing out in time dt.

Qdt=A(0.6)2gr1sinθdt

We have, πr3cos3θdθ=A(0.6)2gr1sinθdt

πr3A(0.6)2grcos3θ(1sinθ)dθ=dt

Let the time taken to empty the tank be T.

Then, T=0π/2πr3A(0.6)2grcos3θ1sinθdθ

=πr3A(0.6)2gr0π/21sin2θ(cosθ)1sinθdθ

Let t1=1sinθ

dt1=cosθ1sinθdθ

T=2πr3A(0.6)2gr10[1(1t12)2]dt1

T=2πr3A(0.6)2gr10[1(1+t142t12)]dt1T=2πr3A(0.6)2gr10[11t14+2t12]dt1T=2πr3A(0.6)2gr10(t142t12)dt1T=2πr3A(0.6)2grt1552t133T=2πr5/2A6102gr0150+23T=2π25/2(102)5/212352g2315=2π×10545(12×3)g10315=2π×105×733g3=14π×10527g unit
