Homework Statement
Here is the problem, from mastering physics:
Given description:
Suppose the opening in the tank of the figure is a height y1 above the base and the liquid surface is a height y2 above the base. The tank rests on level ground.
Question 1: At what horizontal distance from the base of the tank will the fluid strike the ground? Assume v2=0
I got the answer to this one, isolating v by using bernoulli's equation, getting that v=
sqrt(2g(y2-y1)
Then, using this velocity in the kinematics equations for the projectile getting that x = 2sqrt((y2-y1)y1)
visual of that:
Question 2:
At what other height, y'1, can a hole be placed so that the emerging liquid will have the same "range"?
Homework Equations
Bernoulli's equation (P1+.5pv^2+pgh=P2+.5pv^2+pgh)
Where P is pressure, and p is Ro, the density constant of the fluid.
The Attempt at a Solution
I went hunting for the explanation/solution of part b, but i couldn't really figure it out. everything i got, was wrong, and now i have 6 attempts remaining. Can someone explain how to arrive at the answer?
Many thanks,
