A container of height 10 m which is open at the top. has water to its full height. Two small openings are made on the walls of the container one exactly at the middle and the other at the bottom. The ratio of the velocities with which water comes out from the middle and the bottom region respectively is

A

2

B

`1/2`

C

`sqrt2`

D

`1/sqrt2`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
`(v_1)/(v_2)=(sqrt(2gh//2))/(sqrt(2gh))=sqrt(1/2)=1/sqrt2`.

Water is filled in a container upto height 3m. A small hole of area 'a' is punched in the wall of the container at a height 52.5 cm from the bottom. The cross sectional area of the container is A. If a//A=0.1 then v^2 is (where v is the velocity of water coming out of the hole)

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.]
