JEE Main 2021Mechanical Properties of Fluids Question with Solution

JEE Main 2021 (18 Mar Shift 2)

Question

Consider a water tank as shown in the figure. It's cross-sectional area is 0.4 m2. The tank has an opening B near the bottom whose cross-section area is 1 cm2. A load of 24 kg is applied on the water at the top when the height of the water level is 40 cm above the bottom, the velocity of water coming out the opening B is v m s-1. The value of v, to the nearest integer, is ___ .[Take the value of g to be 10 m s-2]

Correct answer
3

Step-by-step explanation

m=24 kg

A=0.4 m2

a=1 cm2

H=40 cm

Using Bernoulli's equation, 

P0+mgA+ρgH+12Pv12

=P0+0+12ρv2   ...1

Neglecting v1

v=2gH+2mgAρ

v=8+1.2

v=3.033 m s-1

v3 m s-1
