  1. Question 1

    Q1. A closed tank has water at 5 m depth and an air pressure of 50 kPa above water. Find the efflux speed through a small hole.

    • A) 10.0 m/s
    • B) 12.2 m/s
    • C) 14.1 m/s
    • D) 20.0 m/s

    Answer: 14.1 m/s

    Explanation: For a pressurized tank, v = sqrt(2gh + 2P/ρ). Here, v = sqrt(2*10*5 + 2*50000/1000) = sqrt(100 + 100) = sqrt(200) ≈ 14.1 m/s.
