Question

A cylinder vessel is filled with a liquid up to length up to height $H$. A small hole is made in the vessel at a distance $y$ below the liquid surface surface as shown in figure. The liquid emerging from the hole strike the ground at distance $x$.

• A. if $y$ is increased from zero to $H$, $x$ will decrease and then increase
• B. $x$ is maximum for $y=\frac{H}{2}$
• C. the maximum value of $x=\frac{H}{2}$
• D. the maximum value of $x$ increases with the increase in density of the liquid.

Answer 1

The correct option is B $x$ is maximum for $y=\frac{H}{2}$

$\begin{array}{c}xismaxify=\frac{H}{2}\\ \&maxx=H\\ Hence,\\ optionBiscorrectanswer.\end{array}$
