A cylindrical vessel of height 500 mm has an orifice (small hole) at its bottom. The orifice is initially closed and water is filled in it up to height H. Now, the top is completely sealed with a cap and the orifice at the bottom is opened. Some water comes out from the orifice and the water level in the vessel becomes steady with height of water column being 200 mm. Find the fall in height (in mm ) of water level due to the opening of the orifice. [Take atmospheric pressure =10×105 N m-2, density of water =1000 kg m-3 and g=10 m s-2.Neglect any effect of surface tension]

Density of air in atmosphere decreases with height and can be expressed by the relation d=d0e-αh, where d0 is the density at sea level, α is a constant and h is the height. Calculate the atmospheric pressure at sea level. Assume g to be constant. The numerical values of the constants are g=9.8 ms-2, d0=1.3 kg.m-3, α=1.2×10-4 m-1.
