Homework Statement
Take into account the speed of the top surface of the tank and shown that the speed of fluid leaving the opening at the bottom is v1=sqrt(2gh/(1-(A21/A22))
P=Atmospheric pressure
d=density
v=velocity
g=gravity
h=height
A=Area
Homework Equations
P1+1/2dv2+dgh=P2+1/2dv2+dgh
v1A1=v2A2
The Attempt at a Solution
Atmospheric pressures cancel, densities cancel.
I substituted v1A1/A2 into Bernoulli's equation.
I reduced and ended up with A2/A1(1+sqrt(2gh))=v1
I cannot seem to reduce it to the correct answer.
Thank you!
