The cone has the opening at the bottom through which water can drip. Now the cone is
placed in an open cylinder, as shown in diagram 2, and the water is allowed to drip out of
it. The water stops dripping out when it reaches a height where it touches the lower end of
the cone. At this moment the height of the water in the cone drops to 12.5 cm.
