A sealed water tank is 40 cm in diameter and 4.5 m tall. The water level in the tank is at 4m and the remainder of the tank has air at 1 atmosphere. A valve at the bottom of the tank is opened and water is allowed to flow out. After a while, the water stops flowing, but the tank isn't empty. Why did it stop flowing? What is the water level in the tank (m) and how much water was released (m3)?
