Question

A large storage tank, open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 16.0 $\mathrm{m}$ below the water level. If the rate of flow from the leak is $2.50 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{m}^{3} / \mathrm{min}$ , determine (a) the speed at which the water leaves the hole and (b) the diameter of the hole.

Step 1

8 \, \text{m/s}^2$ and $h = 16.0 \, \text{m}$. Plugging in the values, we get: $v = \sqrt{2 \times 9.8 \times 16}$ $v = \sqrt{313.6}$ $v = 17.71 \, \text{m/s}$ Show more…
