Problem

A large tank has a horizontal bottom area of 0.50 m20.50\,\text{m}^2 and contains water to a depth of 0.80 m0.80\,\text{m}. A circular hole of radius 1.0 cm1.0\,\text{cm} is opened in the bottom. What is the initial volumetric flow rate QQ of water leaving the tank? (Take g=9.8 m s−2g=9.8\,\text{m}\,\text{s}^{-2}.) a) 4.9×10−3 m3 s−14.9\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} b) 3.1×10−4 m3 s−13.1\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} c) 1.2×10−3 m3 s−11.2\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} d) 8.8×10−4 m3 s−18.8\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1}
