A large storage tank, open at the top and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point 15.8 m below the water level. The rate of flow from the leak is found to be 2.60×10−3 m3 /min. (a) Determine the speed (in m/s ) at which the water leaves the hole. m/s (b) Determine the diameter of the hole (in mm). mm (c) What If? If the hole is 10.0 m above the ground and the water is projected horizontally from the hole, how far (in m ) from the base of the tank would a bucket have to be initially placed to catch the water from the leak? m
