Question

The old rubber boot has two leaks. The top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks. What is the velocity of the water coming out through these leaks

Answer 1

Leak 1 = 3.43 m/s

Leak 2 = 2.42 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the top of the boot is 0.3 m higher than the leaks.

Let height H = 0.3m and the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

From the figure, the angle of the leak 1 will be approximately equal to 45 degrees. While the leak two can be at 90 degrees.

Using the third equation of motion under gravity, we can calculate the velocity of leak 1 and 2
