Not what you're looking for?

Ask Custom Question

Describe the manner in which one would use energy considerations to judge the velocity with which water will flow from a hole in a large container if the pressure difference between the inside and outside of the container is 3100 N/m^2, and if the water inside the container is effectively stationary. This can be done symbolically or by considering the energy changes as a 1-gram mass of water exits the cylinder.
