To calculate the amount of water flowing out of a small opening, the formula V = Svt can be used, where V is the volume of water, S is the cross-sectional area of the opening, and v is the velocity of the water. Participants in the discussion emphasize the importance of showing prior attempts at solving the problem to receive effective guidance. Without specific details about the calculations attempted, it's challenging to provide further assistance. Engaging with the community by sharing work is crucial for receiving targeted help. Clear communication of the problem and efforts made is essential for effective problem-solving.

You are not telling us much about the problem...

Anyway if ##v## is the velocity of the water in the opening and ##S## is the cross section area of the opening then the amount of water that flows out in time ##t## is ##V=Svt##.

Welcome to the PF. Please show us what you have tried so far. We cannot offer much tutorial help until we see your work. Thank you.

Thread 'Correct statement about size of wire to produce larger extension'

The answer is (B) but I don't really understand why. Based on formula of Young Modulus: $$x=\frac{FL}{AE}$$ The second wire made of the same material so it means they have same Young Modulus. Larger extension means larger value of ##x## so to get larger value of ##x## we can increase ##F## and ##L## and decrease ##A## I am not sure whether there is change in ##F## for first and second wire so I will just assume ##F## does not change. It leaves (B) and (C) as possible options so why is (C)...
