A tank has a small hole in its side at a heighty . It is filled with a liquid (density ) to a height . If the absolute pressure at the top of the fluid is , find the velocity with which it leaves the tank. Assume that the cross- sectional area of the tank is larger as compared to that of the hole.
From equation of continuity,
Since,
Fluid emerging from the hole is open to atmospheric pressure , We take two points A and B at the top of the fluid and at the hole respectively. From Bernoulli's principle,
Solving for
