A cylindrical vessel contains a liquid of density r upto a height h. The liquidosed by a piston of mass m and area of cross-section A. There is a small hole at the bottom of the vessel. The speed v with which the liquid comes out of the hole is –
A
2gh
B
2(gh+ρAmg)
C
2(gh+Amg)
D
2gh+Amg
Answer
2(gh+ρAmg)
Explanation
Solution
Applying Bernoulli’s theorem at 1 and 2 : difference in pressure energy between 1 and 2 = difference in kinetic energy between 1 and 2
or rgh + Amg =21 rv2 or v = 2gh+ρA2mg = 2(gh+ρAmg)
