Question

A large container, 120 cm deep is filled with water. If a small hole is punched in its side 77.0 cm from the top, at what initial speed will the water flow from the hole? Please use a equation and explain every step

Answer 1

Answer:

The water will flow at a speed of 3,884 m/s

Explanation:

Torricelli's equation

v = $\sqrt{2gh}$

*v = liquid velocity at the exit of the hole

g = gravity acceleration

h = distance from the surface of the liquid to the center of the hole.

v = $\sqrt{2*9,8m/s^2*0,77m}$ = 3,884 m/s
