A large open tank containing water has two holes to its wall. A square hole of side 'a' is made at a depth 'y' and a circular hole of radius 'r' is made at a depth '16y'from the surface of water. If equal amount of water comes out through both the holes per second, then the relation between 'r' and 'a' will be

  1. A \(r=\frac{2 a}{\pi}\)
  2. B \(r=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{\pi}}\)
  3. C \(r=\frac{a}{2 \pi}\)
  4. D \(r=\frac{2 a}{\sqrt{\pi}}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(r=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{\pi}}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

(A)
\(v_{1} A_{1}=v_{2} A_{2}\)
\(\sqrt{2 g h_{1}} A_{1}=\sqrt{2 g h_{2}} A_{2}\)
\(\sqrt{y} a^{2}=\sqrt{16} y \pi r^{2}\)
\(a^{2}=4 \pi r^{2}\)
\(r=\frac{a}{2 \sqrt{\pi}}\)
