How High Can Water Climb in a Tank with a High-Velocity Inlet?

AI Thread Summary
To determine the maximum height water can reach in a tank with a high-velocity inlet, the continuity equation is essential. The user is confused about the appropriate formula, initially considering pressure but realizing that the exit velocity is crucial. The discussion emphasizes the need to analyze the flow rate and how it relates to the tank's dimensions. Clarification on the exit velocity is sought to further the calculations. Understanding these principles will help solve the problem effectively.

In a tank there is a hole at the bottom of radius 5cm.If water entering the vessel with pipe of radius 5cm with velocity 30m/s. Find maximum height to which tank can be filled.

Um I am confused about the formula to be used. I tried P=density *g*height but it didn't,the work out because pressure is not known. I wonder if equation for continuity is the possible solution.
 
start with the exit velocity …

what does the exit velocity have to be?​

Thread 'Is 'Velocity of Transport' a Recognized Term in English Mechanics Literature?'

Here are two fragments from Banach's monograph in Mechanics I have never seen the term <<velocity of transport>> in English texts. Actually I have never seen this term being named somehow in English. This term has a name in Russian books. I looked through the original Banach's text in Polish and there is a Polish name for this term. It is a little bit surprising that the Polish name differs from the Russian one and also differs from this English translation. My question is: Is there...

Thread 'Effect of mass on the acceleration of an elastic pendulum?'

I know that mass does not affect the acceleration in a simple pendulum undergoing SHM, but how does the mass on the spring that makes up the elastic pendulum affect its acceleration? Certainly, there must be a change due to the displacement from equilibrium caused by each differing mass? I am talking about finding the acceleration at a specific time on each trial with different masses and comparing them. How would they compare and why?
