Velocity of Efflux (Torricelli)

A gardening pipe having an internal radius ' RR ' is connected to a water sprinkler having ' nn ' holes each of radius ' rr '. The water in the pipe has a speed ' vv '. The speed of water leaving the sprinkler is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Continuity: flow in the pipe = total flow out of nn holes
  2. πR2v=nπr2v′⇒v′=R2vnr2\pi R^2 v = n\pi r^2 v' \Rightarrow v' = \frac{R^2 v}{n r^2}
  3. So the answer is (b) R2vnr2\frac{R^2 v}{n r^2}.
