From Euler's equations describing steady inviscid fluid flow under the action of a conservative force, derive Bernoulli's equation for the pressure along a streamline of the flow, defining all variables that you introduce.
Water fills an inverted, open, circular cone (radius increasing upwards) of half angle to a height above its apex. At time , the tip of the cone is removed to leave a small hole of radius . Assuming that the flow is approximately steady while the depth of water is much larger than , show that the time taken for the water to drain is approximately
