A conical funnel, vertex down, drains through a small hole at the vertex. By Torricelli's law its water depth hh (in cm) satisfies h′=−kh3/2h' = -\dfrac{k}{h^{3/2}} for a constant k>0k > 0. The depth is 44 cm at t=0t = 0 and 11 cm at t=31t = 31 seconds. At what time (in seconds) is the funnel empty?
