Drainage Time and Shape: Inequalities from Torricelli's Law
Abstract
We derive integral inequalities governing drainage time in convex solids, inspired by Torricelli's Law, and introduce the Torricelli number as a shape invariant. We use these considerations to construct a class of solids that can be used in building asymmetrical clepsydrae.
