Fully filled open water tank has two holes on either sides of its walls. One is a square hole of side \(x \mathrm{~cm}\) at a depth of \(2 \mathrm{~m}\) from the top, and the other hole is equilateral triangle of side \(4 \mathrm{~cm}\) at a depth of \(6 \mathrm{~m}\) from the top. If the rate of flow of water is same from both the holes, then ' \(x\) ' is

Correct Answer

(D) 3.46 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Volume flow rate, \(R_v\) \(\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{v}}=\) area \(\times\) velocity \(R_{v_1}=x^2 \times \sqrt{2 \times g \times 2} \ldots\) square hole ...(i) \(R_{v_2}=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 4^2 \times \sqrt{2 \times g \times 6}\) triangle hole ...(ii) Equating ( \(i) \&(i i)\)…
