A water tank is constructed on the top of a building. With what speed will the water come out of a tap 6.0 m below the water level in the tank? Assume steadyy flow and that the pressure above the water level is equal to the atmospheric pressure

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The velocity is given by Torricelli's theorem
`v=sqrt(2gh)`
`=sqrt(2xx(9.8ms^-2)xx(6.0m))~~11ms^-1`

A fixed thermally conducting cylinder has a radius R and height L_0 . The cylinder is open at its bottom and has a small hole at its top. A piston of mass M is held at a distance L from the top surface, as shown in the figure. The atmospheric pressure is P_0 . The piston is taken completely out of the cylinder. The hole at the top is sealed. A water tank is brought below the cylinder and put in a position so that the water surface in the tank is at the same level as the top of the cylinder as shown in the figure. The density of the water is rho . In equilibrium, the height H of the water coulmn in the cylinder satisfies

A capillary tube of diameter 0.20 mm is lowered vertically into water in a vessel. What should be the pressure in N//m^(2) to be applied on the water in the capillary tube so that water level in the tube is same as that in the vessel ?

A cylindrical vessel of height 500mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height H. Now the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200mm. Find the fall in height(in mm) of water level due to opening of the orifice. [Take atmospheric pressure =1.0xx10^5N//m^2 , density of water=1000kg//m^3 and g=10m//s^2 . Neglect any effect of surface tension.]
