Question:medium

A water tank is open at the top and has a hole of area \( 10^{-4} \, \text{m}^2 \) at the bottom. The height of the water column is 5 m. What is the speed of the water flowing out of the hole? (Take \( g = 10 \, \text{m/s}^2 \))

Show Hint

Remember: Torricelli’s law is used to calculate the speed of a fluid flowing out of a hole: \( v = \sqrt{2gh} \).
