Problem
A cylindrical vessel of cross-sectional area 0.050m2 contains water up to a height of 2.5m. A small circular hole of radius 4mm is made at the bottom so that the water emerges vertically downward into a measuring can.
(a) Calculate the speed with which the water leaves the hole at the instant the height of water is still 2.5m.
(b) Find the volume flow rate at that instant.
(c) Assuming the height does not appreciably change in the first 12s, estimate the volume of water collected in the can in this interval.
