$A$ vertical tank,open at the top,is filled with a liquid and rests on a smooth horizontal surface. $A$ small hole is opened at the centre of one side of the tank. The area of cross-section of the tank is $N$ times the area of the hole,where $N$ is a large number. Neglect the mass of the tank itself. The initial acceleration of the tank is:

  • A
    $\frac{g}{2N}$
  • B
    $\frac{g}{\sqrt{2}N}$
  • C
    $\frac{g}{N}$
  • D
    $\frac{g}{2\sqrt{N}}$

$A$ cylinder contains water up to a height '$H$'. It has three orifices $O_1, O_2, O_3$ as shown in the figure. Let $V_1, V_2, V_3$ be the speed of efflux of water from the three orifices. Then

$A$ small hole of area of cross-section $2 \; mm^{2}$ is present near the bottom of a fully filled open tank of height $2 \; m$. Taking $g = 10 \; m/s^{2}$,the rate of flow of water through the open hole would be nearly ......... $\times 10^{-6} \; m^{3}/s$.

$A$ cylindrical vessel filled with water up to a height of $H$ stands on a horizontal plane. The side wall of the vessel has a plugged circular hole touching the bottom. The coefficient of friction between the bottom of the vessel and the plane is $\mu$ and the total mass of the water plus the vessel is $M$. What should be the minimum diameter of the hole so that the vessel begins to move on the floor if the plug is removed? (Here,the density of water is $\rho$)
