[CSC 335] Exercise 28 in Section 5.4

[Andrew J. Pounds]

In class today David asked about the cone problem and if volume below 
the cone orifice could be ignored.   Based on the problem statement, 
when the cone is full it has a height of 8 feet and the diameter of the 
cone of water at that height is 16 feet.  The diameter of the orifice 
through which the water flows is 0.2 feet.   Based on my quick trig 
calculations that means that the volume that would fill the space below 
the cone (the small cone below the cone with an orifice of zero) would 
be 0.001047 cubic feet (or around 30 ml).  Since the problem asks for 
times on the scale of minutes, this can obviously be ignored.
