A large vessel of height , is filled with a liquid of density , up to the brim. A small hole of radius is made at the side vertical face, close to the base. The horizontal force is required to stop the gushing of liquid?
Force equals:
where – pressure, – area of the hole.
The pressure of liquid at the height equals:
where – density of liquid, – acceleration due to gravity
Area of the hole equals:
Therefore:
Answer:
