Problem

A hole with a radius of 1.0 mm develops in the bottom of a 15 m tall tank filled to the top with water. The tank is open at the top. At what rate will water initially flow out of the hole? A) 5.4 x 10−310^{-3} m³/s B) 5.4 x 10−410^{-4} m³/s C) 5.4 x 10−510^{-5} m³/s D) 5.4 x 10−610^{-6} m³/s E) 5.4 x 10−710^{-7} m³/s
