A water clock is a vessel shaped as a surface of revolution about a vertical axis, draining through a small hole at its bottom. By Torricelli's law, , where is the area of the water surface at depth and is constant. The vessel is shaped so the water level falls at a constant rate. Its radius is cm at height cm above the hole. What is the volume (in cm) of the vessel up to that height? Give an exact answer.
