Applying Bernoullis's Equation at two points$:$

$p_{1}+\frac{\rho v_{1}^{2}}{2}=p_{2}+\frac{\rho v_{2}^{2}}{2}$

Given, $p_{1}=p, \quad v_{1}=v \quad v_{2}=2 v$

$p_{2}=p+\frac{\rho v^{2}}{2}-\frac{4 \rho v^{2}}{2}$

$p_{2}=p-\frac{3 \rho v^{2}}{2}$

    Consider the wall of a dam to be straight with height $H$ and length $L$. It holds a lake of water of height $h (h < H)$ on one side. Let the density of water be $\rho_{ w }$. Denote the torque about the axis along the bottom length of the wall by $\tau_1$. Denote also a similar torque due to the water up to height $h / 2$ and wall length $L / 2$ by $\tau_2$. Then $\tau_1 / \tau_2$ (ignore atmospheric pressure) is
