Torricelli's theorem states that the velocity 'v' of the liquid emerging from the bottom of the wide tank is given by √(2gh). In practice, this velocity is:
A)equal to √(2gh
B)greater than √(2gh
C)lesser than √(2gh
D)independent of height and gravitational field strength

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In practice, the velocity of the liquid emerging from the bottom of a wide tank is less than √(2gh) due to factors such as viscosity, friction, and the shape of the outlet, which are not considered in the idealized conditions of Torricelli's theorem.
