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 calling fictitious forces "not real" just about terminology?'

Hi there, im studying nanoscience at the university in Basel. Today I looked at the topic of intertial and non-inertial reference frames and the existence of fictitious forces. I understand that you call forces real in physics if they appear in interplay. Meaning that a force is real when there is the "actio" partner to the "reactio" partner. If this condition is not satisfied the force is not real. I also understand that if you specifically look at non-inertial reference frames you can...

Thread 'Derivation of Hamilton's Principle: Questions'

I have recently been really interested in the derivation of Hamiltons Principle. On my research I found that with the term ##m \cdot \frac{d}{dt} (\frac{dr}{dt} \cdot \delta r) = 0## (1) one may derivate ##\delta \int (T - V) dt = 0## (2). The derivation itself I understood quiet good, but what I don't understand is where the equation (1) came from, because in my research it was just given and not derived from anywhere. Does anybody know where (1) comes from or why from it the...
