A 4.0-mm-diameter hole is 1.0 m below the surface of a 2.0-m-diameter tank of water. What is the rate, in mm/min, at which the water level will initially drop if the water is not replenished? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:

[tex] 1.06 [/tex] mm/min

Explanation:

h = height of the water level above the hole = 1 m

[tex]d_{h}[/tex] = diameter of hole = 4 mm = 0.004 m

[tex]A_{h}[/tex] = Area of cross-section of hole = [tex](0.25) \pi d_{h}^{2}[/tex]

[tex]d_{t}[/tex] = diameter of tank = 2 m

[tex]A_{t}[/tex] = Area of cross-section of tank = [tex](0.25) \pi d_{t}^{2}[/tex]

R = rate at which the water level drop

Rate at which the water level drop is given as

[tex]R = \frac{A_{h} (\sqrt{2gh}))}{A_{t}}[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{((0.25) \pi d_{h}^{2}) (\sqrt{2gh}))}{((0.25) \pi d_{t}^{2})}[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{(d_{h}^{2}) (\sqrt{2gh}))}{(d_{t}^{2})}[/tex]

[tex]R = \frac{(0.004)^{2} \sqrt{2(9.8)(1)}}{(2)^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]R = 17.7\times 10^{-6}[/tex] m/s

[tex]R = 0.0177[/tex] mm/sec

[tex]R = (0.0177) (60)[/tex] mm/min

[tex]R = 1.06 [/tex] mm/min
