Problem

A small hole is drilled in the vertical side of an open water tank at a point

1.2\,\text{m}

above the ground. The water level in the tank is maintained at a height of

2.0\,\text{m}

above the hole. Neglecting air resistance, find the horizontal distance from the tank at which the water jet strikes the ground. Take

g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}

. (a)

3.5\,\text{m}

(b)

3.1\,\text{m}

(c)

2.2\,\text{m}

(d)

2.8\,\text{m}
