Properties Of Solids And Liquids Question 198

Question: A cylinder containing water up to a height of 25 cm has a hole of cross-section 14cm2 in its bottom. It is counterpoised in a balance. What is the initial change in the balancing weight when water begins to flow out

Options:

A) Increase of 12.5 gm-wt

B) Increase of 6.25 gm-wt

C) Decrease of 12.5 gm-wt

D) Decrease of 6.25 gm-wt

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: C

Solution:

Let A = The area of cross section of the hole

v = Initial velocity of efflux

d = Density of water,

Initial volume of water flowing out per second = Av Initial mass of water flowing out per second = Avd Rate of change of momentum = Adv2 Initial downward force on the flowing out water = Adv2 So equal amount of reaction acts upwards on the cylinder.

Initial upward reaction =Adv2

[As v=2gh ]

Initial decrease in weight =Ad(2gh)

=2Adgh

=2×(14)×1×980×25=12.5 gm-wt.
