Question

A large water tank, open at the top, has a small hole in the bottom. When the water level is 10 m above the bottom of the tank, the speed of the water leaking from the hole is:

Answer 1

Answer:

14 m/s

Explanation:

According to Bernoullie's theorem

velocity of efflux is given by

$v=\sqrt{2gh}$

$v=\sqrt{2\times 9.8\times 10}$

v = 14 m/s

Thus, the velocity of water is 14 m/s.
