(N/A) Torricelli's law states that the speed of efflux,$v$,of a fluid through an orifice at a depth $h$ below the free surface of the liquid is equal to the speed that a body would acquire in falling freely from rest through a vertical distance $h$.
The mathematical expression for the speed of efflux is given by $v = \sqrt{2gh}$,where $g$ is the acceleration due to gravity and $h$ is the height of the liquid column above the orifice.

$A$ container of large uniform cross-sectional area $A$ is resting on a horizontal surface and holds two immiscible,non-viscous,and incompressible liquids of densities $d$ and $2d$,each of height $\frac{H}{2}$,as shown. The upper surface of the liquid with lower density is open to the atmosphere. $A$ small hole is made on the wall of the container at height $h$ $(h < \frac{H}{2})$. The initial speed of efflux of the liquid at the hole is:
