Circular hole (radius 2")
As the water flows out of the hole, the level of water progressively falls in the tank. Let the height of the water column at any instant t be h and let after a time interval dt the height be (h - dh) [that is the water level has fallen by dh in time dt]. Then,
Rate at which the water is flowing out of the tank = Total volume of water flown out/Total time taken = Awdh/dt where, Aw = Area of water surface ........(1)
___
Rate at which water is flowing out of the hole = cAh√2gh where, Ah = Area of c/s of the hole, c is an empirical constant (0 < c < 1) .......(2)
___
Equating (1) and (2) we get : - Awdh/dt = cAh√2gh (negative sign on left hand side signifies reduction in the volume)
___
dh/dt + c(Ah/Aw)√2gh = 0 .......(3)
(3) is the required ...
