State Torricelli's law.
(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.

View SolutionTanks $A$ and $B$ open at the top contain two different liquids up to a certain height. $A$ hole is made in the wall of each tank at a depth $h$ from the surface of the liquid. The area of the hole in $B$ is twice that of the hole in $A$. If the liquid mass flux through each hole is equal,then the ratio of the densities of the liquids,$\rho_A / \rho_B$,is:
