Water stands at a depth `H` in a tank whose side walls are vertical. A hole is made on one of the walls at a depth `h` below the water surface. Find at what distance from the foot of the wall does the emerging stream of water strike the floor and for what value of `h` this range is maximum ? What is the maximum possible range ?

To solve the problem, we need to determine the distance from the foot of the wall where the emerging stream of water strikes the floor and find the value of \( h \) that maximizes this distance. ### Step-by-step Solution: 1. **Determine the velocity of the water at the hole:** The velocity of the water emerging from the hole can be calculated using Torricelli's theorem, which states that the speed \( V \) of efflux of a fluid under the force of gravity through an orifice is given by: \[ V = \sqrt{2g(H - h)} ...
