Torricelli's TheoremMediumQuestion 6472

Question

Maximum range of efflux from a tank (height H, hole at height y from bottom):
  1. A
    y = H
  2. B
    y = H/2
    Correct
  3. C
    y = H/4
  4. D
    y = 0

Correct answer

y = H/2

Explanation

Range R = 2√(y(H−y)). Maximized when y = H/2 → R_max = H. Hole at y = H/2.
