A cylindrical tank stands on a frictionless surface. The seal over a circular hole of radius 0.5 cm in the wall of the tank ruptures when the level of water above the hole is 1 metre. The force that a person must apply on the cylinder to keep it from being set in motion is
F = av2ρ
= 227 × 0.5 × 0.5 × 2 × 980 × 100 × 1 dyne
= 1.54 × 105 dyne = 1.54N
