Give the meaning of efflux.
(N/A) Efflux refers to the process of a fluid flowing out of a container or vessel through an opening,such as a hole or a nozzle.
In the context of fluid mechanics,the velocity of efflux is the speed at which the fluid emerges from the opening.
According to Torricelli's law,for an ideal fluid,the velocity of efflux $v$ is given by the formula $v = \sqrt{2gh}$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is the height of the fluid column above the opening.

In a cylindrical water tank,there are two small holes $A$ and $B$ on the wall. Hole $A$ is at a depth of $h_1$ from the water surface,and hole $B$ is at a height of $h_2$ from the bottom of the tank. The total height of the water surface from the bottom of the tank is $H$. Water coming out from both holes strikes the ground at the same point $S$. Find the ratio of $h_1$ and $h_2$.

View Solution$A$ large tank open to the atmosphere at the top and filled with water develops a small hole in the side at a point $20 \,m$ below the water level. If the rate of flow of water from the hole is $3 \times 10^{-3} \,m^3/min$, then the area of the hole is (Acceleration due to gravity $= 10 \,m/s^2$) (in $\,mm^2$)
