Physics Question on Bernauli Theorem
A hole is in the bottom of the tank having water. If total pressure at the bottom is 3 atm (1atm=105Nm−2), then velocity of water flowing from hole is
A
400ms−1
B
600ms−1
C
60ms−1
D
none of these
Answer
400ms−1
Explanation
Solution
Total pressure (P) = atmospheric pressure (P0) + pressure due to water columnn p' P=P0+P′ ∴P′=P−P0=3−1=2 atm or, ρgh=2 atm or, h×10×103=2×105 or, h=20m Velocity of water coming from hole is v=2gh=2×10×20 =400ms−1
