Question

A large water tank is 3.70 m high and filled to the brim, the top of the tank open to the air. A small pipe with a faucet is attached to the side of the tank, 0.580 m above the ground. If the valve is opened, at what speed (in m/s) will water come out of the pipe

Answer 1

h =(3.7 - .58)m = 3.12m

Now put PE into KE and we have to use the formula:

√2gh (g = gravity and h = height) therefor:

√2 x 9.8 x 3.12

= 7.82m/s

I hope this helps!
