The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the maximum height to which water can be filled in a vessel with holes at the bottom, we will use the concept of surface tension and hydrostatic pressure. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Given Data:** - Diameter of the hole, \( d = 1 \, \text{mm} = 1 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{m} \) - Radius of the hole, \( r = \frac{d}{2} = \frac{1 \times 10^{-3}}{2} = 5 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{m} \) - Surface tension of water, \( T = 75 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{N/m} \) - Acceleration due to gravity, \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \) - Density of water, \( \rho = 1000 \, \text{kg/m}^3 \) 2. **Calculate the Force Due to Surface Tension:** The force due to surface tension acting at the hole can be calculated as: \[ F_T = 2 \pi r T \] Substituting the values: \[ F_T = 2 \pi (5 \times 10^{-4}) (75 \times 10^{-3}) = 2 \pi \times 5 \times 10^{-4} \times 75 \times 10^{-3} \] 3. **Calculate the Weight of the Water Column:** The weight of the water column above the hole can be expressed as: \[ W = mg = \rho V g = \rho (A h) g \] Where \( A \) is the area of the hole, \( A = \pi r^2 \): \[ W = \rho (\pi r^2 h) g \] 4. **Set the Forces Equal:** For the water to remain in the vessel without leaking, the upward force due to surface tension must equal the downward weight of the water column: \[ F_T = W \] Thus, \[ 2 \pi r T = \rho (\pi r^2 h) g \] 5. **Simplify the Equation:** Canceling \( \pi \) from both sides and rearranging gives: \[ 2rT = \rho r^2 h g \] Dividing both sides by \( r \) (assuming \( r \neq 0 \)): \[ 2T = \rho r h g \] 6. **Solve for Maximum Height \( h \):** Rearranging for \( h \): \[ h = \frac{2T}{\rho r g} \] 7. **Substituting the Values:** Substitute the known values into the equation: \[ h = \frac{2 \times (75 \times 10^{-3})}{(1000) \times (5 \times 10^{-4}) \times (10)} \] Simplifying this gives: \[ h = \frac{150 \times 10^{-3}}{1000 \times 5 \times 10^{-4} \times 10} = \frac{150 \times 10^{-3}}{5 \times 10^{-1}} = \frac{150 \times 10^{-3}}{0.5} = 0.03 \, \text{m} \] 8. **Convert to Centimeters:** Converting meters to centimeters: \[ h = 0.03 \, \text{m} = 3 \, \text{cm} \] ### Final Answer: The maximum height to which the water can be filled in the vessel without leakage is **3 cm**.
