Question

A tall vertical cylinder filled with water is kept on a horizontal table top. Two small holes A and B are made on the wall of the cylinder, A near the middle and B just below the free surface of water.

• A. Water jet through A will have larger range
• B. Water jet through B will have larger range
• C. Water jets through A and B will have equal range
• D. There will be no water jet through B

Answer 1

The correct option is A Water jet through A will have larger range

The water jet through A will have larger horizontal range because water pressure is more at that point. While B is just below the surface so water will come out of it without any significant pressure or jet. It will just leak through it.
