Answer
Energy of crest $(\mathrm{P.E})=(2 \pi \mathrm{r} . \mathrm{dr} \times \mathrm{h} \times \rho) \times \mathrm{g} \times \mathrm{h}$
Now, as crest spread, this energy $E$ remains constant. So,
$2 \pi r d r h^{2} \rho g=E$
$\Rightarrow \mathrm{h}=\sqrt{\frac{\mathrm{E}}{2 \pi \mathrm{rdr} \rho \mathrm{g}}}$ or $\mathrm{h} \propto \mathrm{r}^{-1 / 2}$
