A cylindrical tank with a height of h=1m is filled with water up to its rim. What time is required to empty the tank through an orifice in its bottom? The cross sectional area of the orifice is (1/400)th of the tank. Find the time required for the same amount of water to flow out of the tank if the water level in the tank is maintained constant at a height of h=1m from the orifice.
