A vertical cylindrical container contains 5840 gallons of gasoline and is 1.53 m in radius.  Due to evaporation within the tank, the pressure on the top of the fluid is 2.5 times normal atmospheric pressure.  The density of gasoline is 737 kg/m3.   a. What is the pressure at the bottom of the tank?   b. If a nozzle at the bottom of the tank is used to let fuel out, with what velocity would the gasoline exit the hole?   c.  If a nozzle at the bottom of the tank is used to let fuel out, what volume flow rate will result if the diameter of the hole is 1.2 cm?   d. At what initial rate will the height of the fuel level in the tank drop as fuel is removed?

Applied Fluid Mechanics

A fluid is a substance that is continuously deformed by the application of shear stress. The rate of deformation of a fluid depends on its viscosity. The fluid tries to flow when it interacts with some other system.
