Question:

A hole is in the bottom of the tank having water. If total pressure at the bottom is $3$ atm $(1 \,atm = 10^{5}\, Nm^{-2})$, then velocity of water flowing from hole is

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Total pressure $( P )$ = atmospheric pressure $(P_{0})$ + pressure due to water columnn $p$' $P=P_{0}+P'$ $\therefore P'=P-P_{0}=3-1=2$ atm or, $\rho gh =2$ atm or, $h\times 10 \times 10^{3}=2\times 10^{5}$ or, $h=20\,m$ Velocity of water coming from hole is $v=\sqrt{2gh}=\sqrt{2\times10\times20}$ $=\sqrt{400}\,ms^{-1}$

Bernauli Theorem

In fluid dynamics, Bernoulli's principle states that an increase in the speed of a fluid occurs simultaneously with a decrease in static pressure or a decrease in the fluid's potential energy. The principle is named after Daniel Bernoulli who published it in his book Hydrodynamica in 1738.
