Question

A tank has a hole 1.5m below the water surface, open to the atmosphere. What is the efflux speed? (Take g\=10m/s2)

Options

Choose one · Correct answer highlighted

Explanation

Torricelli’s law: v = 2gh. g = 10m/s2, h = 1.5m. v = 2×10×1.5 = 30≈5.48m/s. As per NCERT, applying relevant law/formula with correct units and sign convention leads to 5.5 m/s. This satisfies dimensional consistency and physical conditions given, so option C is scientifically correct.
