- Two large, identical water tanks, 1 and 2, kept on the top of a building of height H, are filled with water up to height ℎ in each tank. Both the tanks contain an identical hole of small radius on their sides, close to their bottom. A pipe of the same internal radius as that of the hole is connected to tank 2, and the pipe ends at the ground level. When the water flows from the tanks 1 and 2 through the holes, the times taken to empty the tanks are t1 and t2, respectively. If \(H = ( \frac{16}{ 9} ) ℎ\), then the ratio t1/t2 is ___

Escape Speed
Escape speed is the minimum speed, which is required by the object to escape from the gravitational influence of a plannet. Escape speed for Earth’s surface is 11,186 m/sec.
The formula for escape speed is given below:
ve = (2GM / r)1/2
where ,
ve = Escape Velocity
G = Universal Gravitational Constant
M = Mass of the body to be escaped from
r = Distance from the centre of the mass
