A large storage tank, open at the top to the atmospheric pressure (P1 = P0) and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point below the water level. Since the area of the tank is much greater than the area of the small hole, it can be assumed that the velocity of the water at the surface of the tank (v1) is equal to 0. In other words the level of the water in the tank is assumed not to change although there is a leak. If the water leaving the hole from the leak to the open air (P2=P0) does so at a speed of 55.8 km/h, and the hole has a diameter of 2.71 mm, what is the volumetric flowrate from the hole in m3/s?

Question

A large storage tank, open at the top to the atmospheric pressure (P1 = P0) and filled with water, develops a small hole in its side at a point below the water level. Since the area of the tank is much greater than the area of the small hole, it can be assumed that the velocity of the water at the surface of the tank (v1) is equal to 0. In other words the level of the water in the tank is assumed not to change although there is a leak.

If the water leaving the hole from the leak to the open air (P2=P0) does so at a speed of 55.8 km/h, and the hole has a diameter of 2.71 mm, what is the volumetric flowrate from the hole in m3/s? (Use E format for multipliers of 10)
