Consider a completely full cylindrical water tank of height 1.6 m and cross-sectional area 0.5 ~m ^2 . It has a small hole in its side at a height 90 cm from the bottom. Assume, the cross-sectional area of the hole to be negligibly small as compared to that of the water tank. If a load 50 kg is applied at the top surface of the water in the tank then the velocity of the water coming out at the instant when the hole i
