After viewing the results of her computer experi-ments, it slowly dawns on the hydrologist that theoptimal shape of the container is consistent withwhat would be expected based on the conceptual-ization that the water in the ideal container wouldconsist of a collection of small parcels of water ofmassm, all possessing the same amount of poten-tial energy. If laboratory spatial constraints were notan issue, what would be the ideal shape of eachcontainer? Perform a computer experiment that sup-ports your conclusions based on potential energyconsiderations.
