Question

A large tank of water (open to air at the top) is filled to a depth h = 1.80 m above a small leak in the side of the tank. Calculate the velocity of the water coming out of the opening. Assume that the diameter of the tank is much much larger than the diameter of the hole. This means that you are allowed to assume that the velocity of water at the top of the tank is very small; call it 0 m/s. HINT: The top of the tank and the hole of the tank are both "open to air." Think about what that means in terms of the pressure at those two locations

Explanation / Answer

v = (2gh) = (2*9.81*1.8) = 5.94 m/s
