Problem

A cylindrical tank has a small orifice of area 2.0×10−4 m22.0\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^2 in its vertical side wall at a depth of 1.6 m1.6\,\text{m} below the water surface. Determine the volume flow rate of water through the hole. Take g=9.8 m s−2g = 9.8\,\text{m s}^{-2}. a) 7.92×10−4 m3 s−17.92\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} b) 2.24×10−3 m3 s−12.24\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} c) 1.12×10−3 m3 s−11.12\times10^{-3}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1} d) 6.72×10−4 m3 s−16.72\times10^{-4}\,\text{m}^3\,\text{s}^{-1}
