There are two identical small holes of cross-sectional area $a$ on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid of density $\rho$. The difference in height between the holes is $h$. The tank is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The horizontal force that must be applied to the tank to keep it in equilibrium is

  • A
    $gh\rho a$
  • B
    $\frac{2gh}{\rho a}$
  • C
    $2\rho agh$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho gh}{a}$

$A$ vessel completely filled with water has two holes $P$ and $Q$ at depths $2h$ and $8h$ from the top,respectively. Hole $P$ is a square of side $a$ and hole $Q$ is a circle of radius $r$. If the volume of water flowing out per second from both holes is the same,then the side $a$ of hole $P$ is:

$A$ tank is filled up to a height $2H$ with a liquid and is placed on a platform of height $H$ from the ground. The distance $x$ from the ground where a small hole is punched to get the maximum range $R$ is:

Tanks $A$ and $B$ open at the top contain two different liquids up to a certain height. $A$ hole is made in the wall of each tank at a depth $h$ from the surface of the liquid. The area of the hole in $B$ is twice that of the hole in $A$. If the liquid mass flux through each hole is equal,then the ratio of the densities of the liquids,$\rho_A / \rho_B$,is:

Water flows into a large tank with a flat bottom at the rate of $10^{-4} \, m^3 s^{-1}$. Water is also leaking out of a hole of area $1 \, cm^2$ at its bottom. If the height of the water in the tank remains steady, then this height is ........ $cm$.

$A$ large tank is filled with water to a height $H$. $A$ small hole is made at the base of the tank. It takes $T_1$ time to decrease the height of water to $H/\eta$ (where $\eta > 1$),and it takes $T_2$ time to drain the rest of the water. If $T_1 = T_2$,then the value of $\eta$ is:
