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) . The correct sketch is
