Torricelli's TheoremHardQuestion 6459

Question

Tank (H=2 m full) with hole at depth h=1 m from top. Horizontal range on ground (floor at base of tank):
  1. A
    2 m
    Correct
  2. B
    √2 m
  3. C
    √5 m
  4. D
    √3 m

Correct answer

2 m

Explanation

v = √(2gh) = √(2×10×1) = √20. Height to fall = H−h = 1 m. t = √(2×1/10) = √0.2. Range = v×t = √20×√0.2 = √4 = 2 m.
