Fluid Mechanics Viscosity Question 100

Question: There is a hole in the bottom of tank having water. If total pressure at bottom is 3 atm (1 atm = 105N/m2) then the velocity of water flowing from hole is[CPMT 2002]

Options:

A)$ \sqrt{400},m/s $

B)$ \sqrt{600,},m/s $

C)$ \sqrt{60},m/s $

D)None of these

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: A

Solution:

Pressure at the bottom of tank $ P=h\rho g=3\times 10^{5}\frac{N}{m^{2}} $ Pressure due to liquid column Pl= $ 3\times 10^{5}-1\times 10^{5}=2\times 10^{5} $ and velocity of water $ v=\sqrt{2gh} $ $ \therefore \ v=\sqrt{\frac{2P_{l}}{\rho }}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2\times 10^{5}}{10^{3}}}=\sqrt{400},m/s $
