NEET 2019 Physics Flow of Liquids MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11

A small hole of area of cross-section 2 mm² is present near the bottom of a fully filled open tank of height 2 m. Taking g = 10 m/s², the rate of flow of water through the open hole would be nearly:

A

2.23 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s

B

6.4 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s

C

12.6 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s

D

8.9 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

Using Torricelli's theorem, v = √(2gh). The rate of flow Q = Av. Substituting the values, Q = 6.4 × 10⁻⁶ m³/s.
