Question
A rectangular trough, 1.6 m long, 0.60 m wide, and 0.35 m deep, is completely full of water. One end of the trough has a small drain plug right at the bottom edge.
When you pull the plug, at what speed does water emerge from the hole?

Answer:
v = 2.61 m/s
Explanation:
Given that,
Length of a rectangular trough, l = 1.6 m
Breadth of a rectangular trough, b = 0.6 m
Depth of a rectangular trough, h = 0.35 m
We need to find the speed with which water emerge from the hole. It is a concept of efflux. The velocity of efflux is given by :
So, water will emerge from the hole with a speed of 2.61 m/s.
