Consider a water jar of radius R that has water filled up to height H and is kept on a stand of height h (see figure) through a hole of radius r(rltltR) at its bottom the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the gound has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. it the radius of teh cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is x. then.

A circus wishes to develop a new clown act. Fig. (1) shows a diagram of the proposed setup. A clown will be shot out of a cannot with velocity v_(0) at a trajectory that makes an angle theta=45^(@) with the ground. At this angile, the clown will travell a maximum horizontal distance. The cannot will accelerate the clown by applying a constant force of 10, 000N over a very short time of 0.24s . The height above the ground at which the clown begins his trajectory is 10m . A large hoop is to be suspended from the celling by a massless cable at just the right place so that the clown will be able to dive through it when he reaches a maximum height above the ground. After passing through the hoop he will then continue on his trajectory until arriving at the safety net. Fig (2) shows a graph of the vertical component of the clown's velocity as a function of time between the cannon and the hoop. Since the velocity depends on the mass of the particular clown performing the act, the graph shows data for serveral different masses. The slope of the line segments plotted in figure 2 is a figure constant. Which one of the following physical quantities does this slope represent?

An open vessel full of water is falling freely under gravity. There is a small hole in one face of the vessel, was shown in te figure. The water which comes out from the hole at the instant when hole is at height H above the ground strikes the ground at a distance of x from P. Which of the followin is correct for the situation described? (a). The value of x is 2sqrt((2hH)/(3)) (b). The value of x is sqrt((4hH)/(3)) (c). The value ofx can't be computed from information providec. (d). The question is irrevalent as no water comes out from the hole.
