AI Generated Solution

To understand how the pressure at a certain depth in water differs from that of the same depth in river water, we need to consider the factors that affect fluid pressure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Fluid Pressure**: - Fluid pressure at a certain depth is determined by the weight of the fluid above that depth. The formula for pressure (P) at a depth (h) in a fluid is given by: \[ P = \rho g h ...

The spouting can is something used to demonstrate the variation fo pressure with depth. When the corks are removed from the tubes in the side of the can, water flows out with a speed that depends on the depth. In a certain can, three tubes T_(1),T_(2) and T_(3) are set at equal distance 'a' above the base of the can. When water contained in this can is allowed to came out of hte tubes, the distance on the horizontal surface are measured as (x_1),(x_2) and (x_3) . 1. speed of efflux is
