Question

There are two identical small holes of area of cross section a on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid of density ρ. The difference in height between the holes is h. Tank is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. Horizontal force which will has to be applied on the tank to keep it in equilibrium is :-
      

Options

A.ghρa
B.
C.2ρagh
D.

Solution


Net force = F = FB - FA =
= avBρ × vB - avAρ × vA
F = aρ(vB2 - VA2)       ....(1)
According to Bernoulli′s theorem
ρA + ρvA2 + ρgh ⇒ ρB + ρvB2 + 0
⇒  ρ(vB2 - VA2) = ρgh
vB2 - vA2 = 2gh              ....(2)
from equation (1) and (2) we get F = 2aρgh
