A small circular hole 2.36 mm in diameter is cut in the side of a large water tank. The top of the tank is open to the air. The water is escaping from the hole at a speed of 13.77 m/s. How far below the water surface is the hole? Express answers in meter

Step 1
This pressure difference is caused by the weight of the water above the hole. The pressure difference can be calculated using the equation for pressure in a fluid column: P = Ļgh, where Ļ is the density of the fluid (water in this case), g is the acceleration Show moreā¦

A small circular hole 6.00 $\mathrm{mm}$ in diameter is cut in the side of a large water tank, 14.0 $\mathrm{m}$ below the water level in the tank. The top of the tank is open to the air. Find the speed at which the water shoots out of the tank.
A large water tank is open to the air, and has a small hole in the side, 6.35 m below water level. At what speed does water leave the hole? [ ? ] m/s Hint: The water at the top and the water leaving the tank are both exposed to the atmosphere.
