Answer to Question #184961 in Civil and Environmental Engineering for John Prats

Question

A cylindrical tank is 6 m high and us full of water. An orifice 1 m from the top is opened. How far from the bottom of the tank will the jet strike the ground.

Answer 1

Horizontal distance traveled

R=√{2g(h-z)}{√(2z/g)

R=√{2*9.81(6-5)}{√(2*5/9.81)

R=√{2*9.81}{√(2*5/9.81)

R=2.10*1.004

R=2.11
