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 \(.....\,{m}\).

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 \(R\)

\(\frac{ d R }{ dh }=0\)

\(\Rightarrow h =6 \;m\)
