Question

A tank is filled with water up to a height H. Water is let out of a hole P from one of the walls, at a depth D below the surface of the water. Express the range of the efflux x in terms of H and D.

Answer 1

The range of the efflux x can be expressed in terms of the height H and the depth D below the surface of the water using the formula x = √(2gH(D+H)), where g is the acceleration due to gravity.

Step-by-step explanation:

The range of the efflux x, or the distance the water travels from the hole P, can be expressed in terms of the height H and the depth D below the surface of the water. The range x is given by the formula:

x = √(2gH(D+H))

where g is the acceleration due to gravity (approximately 9.8 m/s²).
