Problem

A park fountain is designed so that water emerging from a small opening at the bottom of an open tank must rise 2.5 m2.5\,\text{m} above the opening before falling back down. Neglecting energy losses, what minimum depth of water above the opening must be maintained in the tank to achieve this height? (a) 1.25 m1.25\,\text{m} (b) 5.0 m5.0\,\text{m} (c) 2.5 m2.5\,\text{m} (d) 1.58 m1.58\,\text{m}
