A large storage tank with an open top is filled to a height h0. The tank is punctured at a height habove the bottom of the tank. (Let dbe the horizontal distance the stream of water travels. Use any variable or symbol stated above as necessary. ? for the density of water and g. Do not substitute numerical values; use variables only.) Find the expression for the velocity of the exit stream. State the assumption that you made and the physical principle that you use to obtain the result.
Fluid Pressure
The term fluid pressure is coined as, the measurement of the force per unit area of a given surface of a closed container. It is a branch of physics that helps to study the properties of fluid under various conditions of force.
Gauge Pressure
Pressure is the physical force acting per unit area on a body; the applied force is perpendicular to the surface of the object per unit area. The air around us at sea level exerts a pressure (atmospheric pressure) of about 14.7 psi but this doesn’t seem to bother anyone as the bodily fluids are constantly pushing outwards with the same force but if one swims down into the ocean a few feet below the surface one can notice the difference, there is increased pressure on the eardrum, this is due to an increase in hydrostatic pressure.
