Question

A tank is filled with water to a height H, 34 m. A hole is punched in one of the walls at a depth h, 8.16 m, below the water surface. What is the distance x from the base of the tank to the point at which the resulting stream strikes the floor? Could a hole be punched at another depth to produce a second stream that would have the same range? If so, at what depth? At what depth should a hole be punched to make the emerging stream strike the ground at the maximum distance from the base of the tank?

Explanation / Answer

x = 28.96 m at h2 = 25.9 m below the surface of water. Hmax = 17 m below the surface of water.
