A large storage tank, open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 16.0 m below the water level. If the rate of flow from the leak is 2.50 x 10^ -3 m^3/ min, determine (a) the speed at which the water leaves the hole and (b) the diameter of the hole.
