Question

A rectangular tank is filled to the brim with water. When a hole at its bottom is unplugged, the tank is emptied in time T. If the tank is half-filled with water, it will be emptied in time

Solution

Correct option is

 

The velocity of efflux through a hole is given by 

          

Where h is the height of the tank. If the hole is at the top of the tank, v is obviously zero. Therefore, the average velocity of efflux . If the volume of water in the tank, when it is full, is V and A the cross-sectional area of the hole, then time taken by the tank to be emptied is 

          

When the tank is half-full, V is replaced by  and h is replaced by . Therefore, time taken now is  

        

             .
