Applied Project: How Fast Does a Tank Drain? Question 3 (DTube)

In this video I go over Question 3 of the "Applied Project: How Fast Does a Tank Drain?" video series. In this question, I look at a type of problem that engineers typically have to deal with, which is to give a guarantee based on mathematical calculations. In this case, I look at the large water tanks that many hospitals and hotels around the world use for their sprinkler systems. These tanks often use gravity as the lone force in providing for the water pressure needed for the sprinklers. But sometimes, and as in this question, they can be used as emergency water supplies in case of an emergency such as a fire or electrical failure. In this question, I solve the height of such a tank that is required to ensure that the water pressure after 10 minutes meets a required minimum water pressure. This is a very interesting and useful video as it illustrates just some of the mathematical and practical problems that engineers deal with on a constant basis, so make sure to watch this video!
