Question

A cylinder that is 18 cm tall is filled with water. If a hole is made in the side of the cylinder, 5.0 cm below the top level. Assume that the cylinder is large enough so that the level of the water in the cylinder does not drop significantly. How far will the stream land from the base of the cylinder?

Answer 1

The distance is 22.45 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Height of cylinder, H = 14 cm

depth of hole, h = 5 cm

The distance of landing of stream from the base of cylinder is

`R = 2√(H(H-h))\\\\R = 2√(14(14-5))\\\\R = 22.45 cm`
