Q.

A cylindrical vessel filled with water up to a height h weighs w and is resting on a horizontal plane. The side of wall of the vessel has a plugged circular hole touching the bottom. The coefficient of friction between the bottom of the vessel and the plane is μ. The minimum diameter of the hole so that the vessel just begins to move on the floor after the removal of the plug is

velocity of water through the hole:  u=2gh 
rate of mass flow: R=ρAu    [A = area of the hole]
reaction force on the wall: F=R(u0)=ρAu2
For cylinder to just move,

 μw=ρAu2=ρπd24(2gh)2
 d=2μwπρhg
