Water is filled in a cylindrical container to a height of 3 m. There is an orifice on the side of the container at a height x m from the base of the container. The ratio of the cross-sectional area of the orifice and the beaker is 0.1. The square of the speed of the liquid coming out from the orifice is g=10 m/s2

A horizontal pipeline carries water in a streamline flow. At a point along the pipe where the cross-sectional area is 1×10-3 m2, the water velocity is 1 ms-1 and the pressure is 2000 Pa. Find the pressure on water at another point-where the cross-sectional area is 5×10-4 m2. Density of water =103 kg·m-3.

A large open tank has two holes in the wall. One is a square hole of side L at a depth h from the top and the other is a circular hole of radius R at a depth 4h from the top. When the tank is completely filled with water, the quantities of water flowing out per second from both holes are the same. Then, R is equal to
