Question

A container contains water column of height 50 m. He connects two taps –– one at the bottom while the other 10 m above the bottom. He opens both the tabs simultaneously from which tap, water will touch the ground at a greater distance?

Answer 1

Water flowing out from the bottom of the container will touch the ground at a greater distance. Pressure increases with an increase in depth. Thus, water flowing from 10 m above the bottom will have a lower pressure than water at the bottom.
