A wide cylindrical vessel 50 cm in height is filled with water and rests on a table. Assuming the viscosity to be negligible, find at what height from the bottom of the vessel a small hole should be made for the water jet coming out of it to hit the surface of the table at the maximum horizontal distance from the vessel.

  1. A 15 cm
  2. B 35 cm
  3. C 25 cm
  4. D 10 cm

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) 25 cm

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \text { We have, } R=\sqrt{2 \mathrm{gh}} \times \sqrt{\frac{2(50-\mathrm{h})}{\mathrm{g}}} \\ & =2 \sqrt{\mathrm{h}(50-\mathrm{h})} \end{aligned}\) For maximum range…
