Question

A tall water tank discharges through a well rounded orifice

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Reference Prob. P3.81

Torricelli’s idealization of efflux from a hole in the side of a tank is as shown in Fig. P3.81. The cylindrical tank weighs 150 N when empty and contains water at 20°C. The tank bottom is on very smooth ice (static friction coefficient ζ = 0.01). The hole diameter is 9 cm. For what water depth h will the tank just begin to move to the right?

Step-by-step solution:

Step 1 of 3

(a)

Calculate the area of the orifice.

Here, is the diameter of the orifice.

Substitute for .
