Water issues from a small hole in the side of a large open tank. The hole is at height y above the bottom and the water surface is at height H. Neglect viscosity. Which statements are correct?

G1 Physics · Accepted Answer

Torricelli gives v=√[2g(H−y)]. The jet falls vertical distance y, so t=√(2y/g). Hence range vt=2√[y(H−y)], which is symmetric under y↔H−y.
