A tank with vertical walls is mounted so that its base is at a height H above the horizontal ground. The tank is filled with water to a depth h . A hole is punched in the side wall of the tank at a depth x below the water surface. To have maximum range of the emerging stream, the value of x is
Options
- AH+h 4
- BH+h 2
- CH+h 3
- D3(H+h) 4
Correct answer
B. H+h 2
Step-by-step solution
Total height of water level from the ground =(h+H) From Torrcelli's theorem we know that to have maximum range, the depth of hole. x= (h+H) 2
