    A tank is filled with water. There is a hole in the bottom. At the bottom total pressure is 3 aim (1 aim\[={{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\]), then, the velocity of water flowing from hole is

    A)  10 m/s            

    B)  20 m/s

    C)  15 m/s            

    D)  25 m/s

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    At bottom of tank                 \[p=h\rho g=3\times {{10}^{5}}N/{{m}^{2}}\] Pressure due to liquid column                 \[{{p}_{1}}=3\times {{10}^{5}}-1\times {{10}^{5}}=2\times {{10}^{5}}\] Velocity of water \[v=\sqrt{2gh}\]                 \[v=\sqrt{\frac{2{{p}_{1}}}{\rho }}=\sqrt{\frac{2\times 2\times {{10}^{5}}}{{{10}^{3}}}}\] = 20 m/s
