What would the velocity of water be at the end of pipe of inner diameter 1 inch coming from the base of a overhead tank 10 meters high. Ignore the frictional losses. Also please post a formula for the same.
The formula for calculating the velocity of water from an overhead tank is v = √(2gh), where v is the velocity, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the height of the water above the outlet.
You can measure the height of the water in an overhead tank using a measuring tape or ruler. Make sure to measure from the water level to the outlet, not the top of the tank.
Yes, the velocity of water from an overhead tank is affected by the size of the outlet. A smaller outlet will result in a higher velocity, while a larger outlet will result in a lower velocity.
Yes, the velocity of water from an overhead tank can be increased by increasing the height of the tank. According to the formula v = √(2gh), increasing the height (h) will result in a higher velocity (v).
The velocity of water from an overhead tank is used in various real-life applications, such as designing plumbing systems, calculating water flow for irrigation systems, and determining the force of water for hydroelectric power generation. It is also important to consider the velocity when filling containers or swimming pools to prevent overflow or damage.
