    A tank is filled with a liquid upto a height H. A small hole is made at the bottom of this tank. Consider \[{{t}_{1}}\] be the time taken to empty first half of the tank and \[{{t}_{2}}\] be the time taken to empty rest half of the tank. Then, determine the ratio \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}\].

    A)  1.33                

    B)  1.5

    C)  2                  

    D)  0.414

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    The volume of liquid in time dt                 \[dV=av\times dt=a\sqrt{2gH}\,.\,dt\]                 (\[\because \] dH level falls in dt time) The volume of liquid coming out of hole \[dV=A\,(-dH)\]                 \[A\,(-dH)=a\sqrt{2gH}\,.\,\,dt\] Since,    \[\int_{0}^{t}{dt}=\frac{A}{2\sqrt{2g}}\,\int_{H}^{0}{{{y}^{-1/2}}dy}\] ... (i) Now, substituting the proper limits in Eq. (i), derived in the theory, we have                 \[\int_{0}^{{{t}_{1}}}{dt=}\frac{A}{a\sqrt{2g}}\int_{H}^{H/2}{{{y}^{-1/2}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{2A}{a\sqrt{2g}}[\sqrt{y}]_{H/2}^{H}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{2A}{a\sqrt{2g}}\left[ \sqrt{H}-\sqrt{\frac{H}{2}} \right]\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{t}_{1}}=\frac{A}{a}\sqrt{\frac{H}{a}}\,(\sqrt{2}-1)\] ... (ii) Similarly, \[\int_{0}^{{{t}_{2}}}{dt}=-\frac{A}{a\sqrt{2g}}\int_{H/2}^{0}{{{y}^{-1/2}}dy}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[{{t}_{2}}=\frac{A}{a}\sqrt{\frac{H}{g}}\] ... (iii) From Eqs. (ii) and (iii), we get \[\frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=\sqrt{2}-1\Rightarrow \frac{{{t}_{1}}}{{{t}_{2}}}=0.414\]
