Problem

Water level is maintained in a cylindrical vessel placed on horizontal floor up to a fixed height HH . A tiny hole of area AA is punched in the side wall at a height from the bottom of the vessel equal to yy . The emerging stream strikes the ground at a horizontal distance xx ( y≠0y \neq 0 ) from cylinder. To maintain the level in the vessel at HH , the rate (volume/sec) of addition of water is A2g(H−y)nA\sqrt{\frac{2g(H-y)}{n}} . Find nn .
