A liquid having density 6000 kg//m^(3) stands to a height of 4 m in a sealed tank as shown in the figure. The tank contains compressed air at a gauge pressure of 3 atm . The horizontal outlet pipe has a cross-sectional area of 6 cm^(2) and 3 cm^(2) at larger and smaller sections. Atmospheric pressure = 1 atm, g = 10m//s^(2) 1 atm =10^(5) N//m^(2) . Assume that depth of water in the tank remains constant due to s very large base and air pressure above it remains constant. Based on the above information, answer the following questions. The height at which liquid will stand in the open end of the pipe is

A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 3 m and volume is 75 m3. If building of tank costs Rs. 100 per square metre for the base and Rs. 50 per square metres for the sides, find the cost of least expensive tank.

A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 3 m and volume is 75 "m"^3 . If building of tank costs Rs. 100 per square metre for the base and Rs. 50 per square metre for the sides, find the cost of least expensive tank.

A tank with rectangular base and rectangular sides, open at the top is to be constructed so that its depth is 2m and volume is 8 m^3 . If building of tank costs Rs. 70 per sq. metre for the base and Rs. 45 per sq. metre for sides, what is the cost of least expensive tank?

Water is drained from a vertical cylindrical tank by opening a valve at the base of the tank. It is known that the rate at which the water level drops is proportional to the square root of water depth y , where the constant of proportionality k >0 depends on the acceleration due to gravity and the geometry of the hole. If t is measured in minutes and k=1/(15), then the time to drain the tank if the water is 4 m deep to start with is (a) 30 min (b) 45 min (c) 60 min (d) 80 min
