    A tank is filled with water up to a height H. Water is allowed to come out of a hole P in one of the walls at a depth D below the surface of water. Express the horizontal distance x in terms of H and D                             [MNR 1992; CPMT 2004]

    A)             \[x=\sqrt{D(H-D)}\]

    B)             \[x=\sqrt{\frac{D(H-D)}{2}}\]

    C)             \[x=2\sqrt{D(H-D)}\]

    D)             \[x=4\sqrt{D(H-D)}\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

                       Time taken by water to reach the bottom                    = \[t=\sqrt{\frac{2(H-D)}{g}}\]                    and velocity of water coming out of hole, \[v=\sqrt{2gD}\]                    \ Horizontal distance covered \[x=v\times t\]                     = \[\sqrt{2gD}\times \sqrt{\frac{2(H-D)}{g}}\]= \[2\sqrt{D(H-D)}\]
