Water leaks out from an open tank throug...

Water leaks out from an open tank through a hole of area `2mm^2` in the bottom. Suppose water is filled up to a height of 80 cm and the area of cross section of the tankis `0.4 m^2`. The pressure at the open surface and the hole are equal to the atmospheric pressure. Neglect the small velocity of the water near the open surface in the tank. a. Find the initial speed of water coming out of the hole. b. Findteh speed of water coming out when half of water has leaked out. c. Find the volume of water leaked out during a time interval dt after the height remained is h. Thus find the decrease in height dh in term of h and dt.
d. From the result of part c. find the time required for half of the water to leak out.

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A, B, C, D

a. Velocity of water `sqrt(2gh)
`=sqrt(2xx10xx0.80)`
`=4m/sec`
b. Velocity of water when `h=40cm `
`=sqrt(2xx10xx0.40)`
`sqrt(8 m/sec`
c. Volume `=Ah=Av dt`
`=A.sqrt(2gh)dt`
`=(2mm^2)sqrt(2gh)dt`
volume of tank `=Ah=V(say)`
`=i.e. (dV)/(dt)=A(dh)/(dt)`
`=a_1v_1=A(dh)/(dt)`
`rarr 2x10^-6sqrt(2gh)=0.4d(dh)/(dt)`
`rarr210^-6sqrt(2hg)=0.4(dh)/(dt)`
`rarr dh=5xx0^-6sqrt(2gh)dt`
d. since `dh-5xx10^-6sqrt(2gh) dt`
`=(dh)/sqrt(2gh)=5xx10^-6dt`
on integrating,
`5xx10^-6 int_0^t dt=1/sqrt28 int_0.8^0.4 (dh)/sqrth`
`rarr 5xx10^-6.t=1/sqrt28xx2[h(1/2)]_0.8^0.4`
`rarr t=1/sqrt20xx2xx[(0.4)^(1/2_)-(0.8)^(1.2)]x1/(5xx10^-6)`
`=1/4.47xx2xx2/3.16xx0.414xx1/(5xx10^-6)xx1/3600 hrs`
`=6.51Hrs.
