ConicalTank Problem

This document contains an assignment for an engineering course that provides experimental data measuring the time (T) it takes to drain liquid of varying initial heights (H) from a conical tank. It also provides the equation that was derived to model the relationship between drain time and initial liquid height, including the constants that were calculated from the experimental data and physical properties.
