Question

There are two identical small holes of area of cross section a on the opposite sides of a tank containing a liquid of density ρ. The difference in height between the holes is h. Tank is resting on a smooth horizontal surface. Horizontal force which has to be applied on the tank to keep it in equilbrium is :

Solution

The correct option is D 2ρagh
Momentum of the mass of water coming out of the hole per sec is thrust.
Resultant thrust F=F1F2=ρav21ρav22=ρa2gh1ρa2gh2=2aρg(h1h2)
horizontal force that has to be applied to the tank to keep it in equilibrium is
2aρg(h1h2)
or
2aρgh
