The tank is initially empty and is equipped with an orifice 3 mm square (Cv=0.96 and Cc=0.62) located at the bottom of the tank. The boy first closed the orifice and start pouring water into the tank at a constant rate of 0.05 li/s. After 30 minutes, without the boy noticing it, the orifice was accidentally opened and it took another 30 minutes when the boy noticed that the orifice was already opened.
