A hemispherical bowl of radius 11 m is full of water, which drains through a small hole at the bottom. At depth hh the water surface is a disc of area π(2h−h2)\pi(2h - h^2), and Torricelli's law gives π(2h−h2) h′=−π15h\pi(2h - h^2)\,h' = -\dfrac{\pi}{15}\sqrt{h} (tt in minutes). How many minutes does the bowl take to empty?
