Homework Statement
A yacht sitting in a harbor has a hole (area 8x10-3) in its hold and is located 2 meters below the surface of the water. The interior of the boat is at atmospheric pressure. If the hole went unnoticed for one hour, how much water has accumulated in the boat?

Homework Equations
Bernoulli's Equation
Flow=Area*Speed
The Attempt at a Solution
No clue. I ended up finding the difference is pressure between the air and water pressure at 2 meters and got a huge negative number. I know it involves Bernoulli's equation but how do we find the speed of the water flowing in? The equation has P1 + .5pv12 and P2 + .5pv22. What's the difference between those? Pressures are different but isn't the speed of the water the same flowing in on both sides of the equation?
