A cylindrical container of radius `'R'` and height `'h'` is completely filled with a liquid. Two horizontal `L`-shaped pipes of small cross-sectional area `'a'` are connected to the cylinder as shown in the figure. Now the two pipes are opened and fluid starts coming out of the pipes horizontally in opposite directions. Then the torque due to ejected liquid on the system is

A

4 gh `rho ` R

B

8 a gh ` rho ` R

C

2 a gh `rho ` R

D

None of these

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A
Velocity of efflux of water, `v=sqrt(2g((h)/(2)))=sqrt(gh)`
Force by ejected water = Rate of change in momentum of ejected water
`F=rhoaV^(2)`
Torque of these forces about central line=`(rhoaV^2)(4R)=4rhoaV^(2)R=4rhoaghR`
