What is Torricelli's Law?
Think about the relationship between falling objects and fluid flow.
How does fluid height affect efflux speed?
Consider how pressure plays a role in this dynamic.
What determines the speed of efflux in Torricelli's Law?
Higher fluid means higher speed!
True or False: According to Torricelli's Law, speed of efflux decreases as fluid height lowers.
Think about how the pressure changes with height.
A cylindrical tank is filled with water to a height of 10 m. Calculate the speed of efflux when a hole is made 2 m from the bottom.
Be sure to calculate the height from the hole to the water surface!
Discuss how Torricelli's Law applies when considering various tank shapes filled to equal heights.
Think about how shape does not affect gravity's role!
