A cylinderical tank 1 m in radius rests ...


A cylinderical tank 1 m in radius rests on a plaform 5 m high. Initially the tank is filled with water upto a height of 5m a plug whose area is `10^(-4)cm^(2)` is removed from an orifice on the side of the tank at the bottom.
Calculate (a). Initial speed with which the water flows from the orifice
(b). Initial speed with which the water strikes the ground.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

(a). Speed of efflux `V_(H)=sqrt((2gh))=sqrt(2xx10xx5)=10m//s`
(b). As initial vertical velocity of water is zero, so its verticalj velocity when it hits the ground
`V_(V)=sqrt(2gh)=sqrt(2xx10xx5)=10m//s`
So the initial speed with which water strikes the group, `V=sqrt(V_(H)^(2)+V_(V)^(2))=10sqrt(2)=14.1m//s`
