A tank 25 m in height and open at the top is filled with saltwater (density 1025) A small drain plug with a cross sectional area of 4.0 x 10^-5 m^2 is located 5.0 m from the bottom of the tank.

How would I find the speed of the water as it leaves the hole?

I know the Pressure at the holes location but what would I use to get the speed?

Hint: Use Bernoulli's equation. (Lacking details, assume the open area of the tank is MUCH larger than the drain hole.)
