JEE Mains · Physics · STD 11 - 9.1 fluid mechanics

The water is filled upto height of \(12\, {m}\) in a tank having vertical sidewalls. A hole is made in one of the walls at a depth \('{h}'\) below the water level. The value of \('h'\) for which the emerging stream of water strikes the ground at the maximum range is \(.....\,{m}\).

  1. A \(12\)
  2. B \(8\)
  3. C \(3\)
  4. D \(6\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(6\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(R =\sqrt{2 gh } \times \sqrt{\frac{(12- h ) \times 2}{ g }}\) \(\sqrt{4 h (12- h )}= R\) For maximum \(R\) \(\frac{ d R }{ dh }=0\) \(\Rightarrow h =6 \;m\)
