There are two identical small holes of cross-sectional area $a$ on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid of density $\rho$. The difference in height between the holes is $h$. The tank is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. The horizontal force that must be applied to the tank to keep it in equilibrium is

  • A
    $gh\rho a$
  • B
    $\frac{2gh}{\rho a}$
  • C
    $2\rho agh$
  • D
    $\frac{\rho gh}{a}$

$A$ fully filled open water tank has two holes on either side of its walls. One is a square hole of side $x \,cm$ at a depth of $2 \,m$ from the top, and the other hole is an equilateral triangle of side $4 \,cm$ at a depth of $6 \,m$ from the top. If the rate of flow of water is the same from both the holes, then the value of $x$ is: (in $\,cm$)

There are two holes, one each along the opposite sides of a wide rectangular tank. The cross-section of each hole is $0.01 \,m^2$ and the vertical distance between the holes is $1 \,m$. The tank is filled with water. The net force on the tank in newton when the water flows out of the holes is (Density of water $= 1000 \,kg/m^3$, $g = 10 \,m/s^2$)

Tanks $A$ and $B$ open at the top contain two different liquids up to a certain height. $A$ hole is made in the wall of each tank at a depth $h$ from the surface of the liquid. The area of the hole in $B$ is twice that of in $A$. If the liquid mass flux through each hole is equal, then the ratio of the densities of the liquids respectively, is

$A$ vessel completely filled with water has two holes $P$ and $Q$ at depths $2h$ and $8h$ from the top,respectively. Hole $P$ is a square of side $a$ and hole $Q$ is a circle of radius $r$. If the volume of water flowing out per second from both holes is the same,then the side $a$ of hole $P$ is:

Water $(\rho_1=1000 \, kg/m^3)$ and kerosene $(\rho_2=800 \, kg/m^3)$ are filled to the same height in two identical cylindrical vessels. Both vessels have small holes at their bottom. The speeds of the water and kerosene coming out of their holes are $v_1$ and $v_2$ respectively. Select the correct alternative.
