Question

A water storage tank is 5.0 m deep and has a radius of 2.0 m. It is filled to the very top with water. (Assume normal atmospheric pressure) a.) What is the gauge pressure at the bottom of the tank? b.) What is the absolute pressure at the bottom of the tank? c.) If a small hole (radius 2.0 mm) is punctured into the tank at a distance of 0.75 m above its base, at what rate will water flow out of this hole?

Step 1

Since the tank is open to the atmosphere, the absolute pressure at the bottom is simply the pressure due to the weight of the water above it. We can use the formula P = ρgh, where P is the pressure, ρ is the density of water, g is the acceleration due to gravity, Show more…
