OKay there is no way I would have gotten that. I have not learnt anything yet about centre of mass etc.

I dunno if it's just me, but does anyone else remember it not even being a mathematical problem? I'm pretty sure the maths in it was really basic, and it was more of a concept sort of question.

Yep, new idea, because finding out how long it takes for the water to run out is impossible, we could use L. L is the distance of the centre of mass of the tank and water to the vertical pipe bit. So if water is running out won't the centre of mas move to the right and L then technically shorten, shortening of L could be used as the "time limit" portion of the answers needed. Meh more thinking required and I cant be fucked atm its friday
This is basically what I'm thinking now. Though I am not too sure how to show it. But I am tired, will dwell on it more tomorrow.
