A water tank springs a leak.
Find the speed of water emerging from the hole if the leak is 2.9 m below the surface of the water, which is open to the atmosphere.
Homework Answers
Answer #1
Gravitational acceleration = g = 9.81 m/s2
Density of water = 
= 1000
kg/m3
Atmospheric pressure = Patm
Pressure of the water at the top of the tank = P1 = Patm (Open to atmosphere)
Pressure of the water coming out from the hole = P2 = Patm (Open to atmosphere)
Height of the surface of the water above the hole = H = 2.9 m
Speed of water emerging from the hole = V
The speed of water at the top of the tank will be nearly zero as the area of the tank is much larger than the area of the hole.
By Bernoulli's equation at the top of the water tank and the hole,
V = 7.54 m/s
Speed of the water emerging from the hole = 7.54 m/s

A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter
2.20 m contains water to a depth of 0.900 m . A worker accidently
pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0180 m in the bottom of the
tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the
water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5.00×103Pa at the
surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity.

a
tank holds 90 gal of water which drains from a leak at the bottom,
causing the tank to empty in 32 min. The tank drains faster when it
is newrky full because the pressure on the leak is greater.
Toricelli’s Law gives the volume of water remaning in the tank
after t minutes as
v(t)=90(1-t/32)^2
0<t<32
(a) find v(0) and v(32)
(b) make a table of values of v(t) for t=0,8,16,24,32 (round
