Question
A tank is filled with water up to a height of H meter and there is a hole in it at a height from the bottom. Find the volume of water coming out of that hole and how far from the tank will it fall on the ground?

Answer

The water tank is filled to a height of H meter.
The hole from the bottom is at a height of $h$ $m $.
Height from water surface to surface
$=( H - h)$ $m$
Velocity of water coming out of that hole
$\begin{aligned}v & =\sqrt{2 g \times(H-h)} \\v & =\sqrt{2 g(H-h)}\end{aligned}$
Let the distance from tank is $x ~ m$ and the time of fall is $t ~\text sec$.
$\begin{aligned}h & =u t+\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \\h & =0+\frac{1}{2} g t^2 \\t^2 & =2 h / g \\t & =\sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}}\end{aligned}$
The horizontal distance covered by the velocity $v$ in the same time will be
$\begin{aligned}x & =v t \\& =\sqrt{2 g(H-h)} \times \sqrt{\frac{2 h}{g}} \\x & =2 \sqrt{h(H-h)}\end{aligned}$
Hence, it will fall at a distance of $2 \sqrt{( H - h)}$ from the tank.
