Question

There is a hole in the bottom of tank having water. If total pressure at bottom is 2 atm ( 1 atm = 105 N/m2) then the velocity of water flowing from hole is

Easy
Solution

Pressure at the bottom of tank P = hρg = 2×105 Nm2.

Pressure due to liquid colun Pt = 2 ×105-1×105  = 1 ×105 and velocity of water v = 2gh

v = P1ρ = 2×105103 = 200 m/s
