MCQ
A tank is filled up to a height $2H$ with a liquid and is placedon a platform of height $H$ from the ground. The distance $x$ from the ground where a small hole is punched to get the maximum range $R$ is:
  • A
    $H$
  • B
    $1.25 $ $H$
  • $1.5$ $ H$
  • D
    $2 $ $H$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$1.5$ $ H$
c
$v=\sqrt{2 g(3 H-x)}, R=v \cdot t$

and $x=\frac{1}{2} g t^{2}$

$\therefore R=\sqrt{2 g(3 H-x)} \sqrt{\frac{2 x}{g}}$

$=2 \sqrt{\left(3 H x-x^{2}\right)}$

For $R=\max , \frac{d R}{d x}=0$

$=\frac{d}{d x} \sqrt{3 H x-x^{2}}$

$=\frac{1}{2 \sqrt{3 H x-x^{2}}}(3 H-2 x)$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{3}{2} H=1.5 H$
