Practice question
Question
A tank has a hole 1.1m below the water surface, open to the atmosphere. What is the efflux speed? (Take g\=10m/s2)
Explanation
Torricelli’s law: v = 2gh. g = 10m/s2, h = 1.1m. v = 2×10×1.1 = 22≈4.69m/s. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 4.7 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option B is scientifically correct.
