A cubical box of wine has a small spout located in one of the bottom corners. When the box is full and placed on a level surface, opening the spout results in a flow of wine with a initial speed of $v_0$ (see figure). When the box is half empty, someone tilts it at $45^o $ so that the spout is at the lowest point (see figure). When the spout is opened the wine will flow out with a speed of

According to Torricelli's Theorem velocity of efflux i.e. the velocity with which the liquid flows out of a hole is equal to $\sqrt{2 g h}$ where $h$ is the depth of the hole below the liquid surface.

Lets say side of the cube is $a,$ so we have

$v_{o}=\sqrt{2 g a}$

When cubical box is half empty, height of wine surface above the spout is half of the diagonal of the cube's face, i.e. $\frac{\sqrt{2} a}{2}=\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}$

Now the speed of the wine from the spout is

$v^{\prime}=\sqrt{2 g\left(\frac{a}{\sqrt{2}}\right)}=\frac{v_{o}}{\sqrt[4]{2}}$

    An object with uniform density $\rho$ is attached to a spring that is known to stretch linearly with applied force as shown below.When the spring object system is immersed in a liquid of density $\rho_1$ as shown in the above figure, the spring stretches by an amount $x_1\left(\rho > \rho_1\right)$. When the experiment is repeated in a liquid of density $\left(\rho_2 < \rho_1\right)$, the spring stretches by an amount $x_2$.
