A cylindrical vessel contains a liquid of density `rho` up to height `h`. The liquid is closed by a piston of mass `m` and area of cross section `A`. There is a small hole at the bottom of the vessel. The speed `v` with which the liquid comes out of the hole is

A

` sqrt (2 gh )`

B

` sqrt (2 (gh + (mg ) /(rho A )) ) `

C

` sqrt (2(gh + (mg )/(A))) `

D

` sqrt ( 2 gh + (mg ) /(A)) `

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

Pressure at bottom ` = (mg)/(A) + rho gh + P_ 0 `
Using Bernoulli’s theorem between points just inside and outside hole :
` rArr (mg )/(A) + rho gh + P_0 = (1)/(2) rhov ^2 + P _ 0 rArr v = sqrt((2)/(rho) ((mg)/(A) + rho gh)))`
