State Torricelli's law.
(N/A) Torricelli's law states that the speed of efflux,$v$,of a fluid through an orifice at a depth $h$ below the free surface of the liquid is equal to the speed that a body would acquire in falling freely from rest through a vertical distance $h$.
The mathematical expression for the speed of efflux is given by $v = \sqrt{2gh}$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is the height of the liquid column above the orifice.

View Solution$A$ fully filled open water tank has two holes on either side of its walls. One is a square hole of side $x \,cm$ at a depth of $2 \,m$ from the top, and the other hole is an equilateral triangle of side $4 \,cm$ at a depth of $6 \,m$ from the top. If the rate of flow of water is the same from both the holes, then the value of $x$ is: (in $\,cm$)

View SolutionIf in a stationary lift,a man is standing with a bucket full of water,having a hole at its bottom. The rate of flow of water through this hole is $R_0$. If the lift starts to move up and down with the same acceleration $a$,and the rates of flow of water are $R_u$ and $R_d$ respectively,then:
