Let $a, b, r_1$ and $r_2$ be four real numbers such that $0 < r_1 < r_2$. Determine a function $f$ of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{(0,0)\}$ such that $$\begin{cases} \Delta f = 0 \\ f(x,y) = a & \text{if } \|(x,y)\| = r_1 \\ f(x,y) = b & \text{if } \|(x,y)\| = r_2 \end{cases}$$
In this subsection II.C, we consider two functions of class $\mathcal{C}^2$, $u : \mathbb{R}^{*+} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and $v : \mathbb{R} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ and we set $$\forall (r,\theta) \in \mathbb{R}^{*+} \times \mathbb{R} \quad f(r\cos(\theta), r\sin(\theta)) = u(r)v(\theta)$$ The function $f$ is then a function of class $\mathcal{C}^2$ on $\mathbb{R}^2 \setminus \{(0,0)\}$, called a function with separable polar variables.
Show that, if $f$ is not identically zero, then $v$ is $2\pi$-periodic.

A pond has been dug at the Indian Statistical Institute as an inverted truncated pyramid with a square base. The depth of the pond is 6 m. The square at the bottom has side length 2 m and the top square has side length 8 m. Water is filled in at a rate of $\frac { 19 } { 3 }$ cubic meters per hour. At what rate is the water level rising exactly 1 hour after the water started to fill the pond?
