Write a function to compute the time to drain a cylindrical tank of diameter D from an initial level to a level h. The outflow occurs through a small circular orifice of diameter at the bottom of the tank, and the outflow Q can be computed with , where is a discharge coefficient, is the area of the orifice, and g is the acceleration of gravity, which should be taken as 9.81 m/s.
