NEET Physics Pressure in Fluids MCQ Question
Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A tank open to the atmosphere is filled with water to a height of 5 meters. What is the speed of efflux of water from a hole at the bottom of the tank?
A
9.9 m/s
B
14.0 m/s
C
5.0 m/s
D
7.7 m/s
Correct Answer
Option A
Detailed Explanation
Using Torricelli’s law, the speed of efflux v is given by v = √(2gh), where g = 9.8 m/s² and h = 5 m. Hence, v = √(2 × 9.8 × 5) = 9.9 m/s.
