Question
A tank is filled with water and an orifice is made in the wall so that the horizontal range $x$ of water rushing out is maximum. If $H$ is the height of water above the orifice in the tank, then(A) $x=H$(B) $x=2 H$(C) $2 x=H$(D) $4 x=H$
Step 1
The height of water above the orifice in the tank is given as $H$. The water rushes out of the orifice and the maximum horizontal range of the water is $x$. Show more…

A tank is filled upto a height $h$ with a liquid and is placed on a platform of height $h$ from the ground. To get maximum range $x_{m}$, a small hole is punched at a distance of $y$ from the free surface of the liquid. Then (a) $x_{m}=2 h$ (b) $x_{m}=1.5 h$ (c) $y=2 h$ (d) $y=0.75 h$
A tank is filled with water upto a height $H$. Water is allowed to come out of a hole $P$ in one of the walls at a depth $D$ below the surface of water. Express the horizontal distance $x$ in terms of $H$ and $D$ (a) $x=\sqrt{D(H-D)}$ (b) $x=\sqrt{\frac{D(H-D)}{2}}$ (c) $x=2 \sqrt{D(H-D)}$ (d) $x=4 \sqrt{D(H-D)}$
A tank, which is open at the top, contains a liquid up to a height $H$. A small hole is made in the side of the tank at a distance $y$ below the liquid surface. The liquid emerging from the hole lands at a distance $x$ from the $\operatorname{tank}$ (A) If $y$ is increased from zero to $H, x$ will first increase and then decrease. (B) $x$ is maximum for $y=H / 2$. (C) The maximum value of $x$ is $H$. (D) The maximum value of $x$ will depend on the density of the liquid.
