     Consider a water jar of radius $R$ that has water filled up to height $H$ and is kept on a stand of height $h$ (see figure) . Through a hole of radius $r$  $(r << R)$ at its bottom, the water leaks out and the stream of water coming down towards the ground has a shape like a funnel as shown in the figure. If the radius of the cross-section of water stream when it hits the ground is $x.$ Then

    Two identical cylindrical vessels are kept on the ground and each contain the same liquid of density $d.$ The area of the base of both vessels is $S$ but the height of liquid in one vessel is $x_{1}$ and in the other, $x_{2}$. When both cylinders are connected through a pipe of negligible volume very close to the bottom, the liquid flows from one vessel to the other until it comes to equilibrium at a new height. The change in energy of the system in the process is
