A tank, which is open at the top, contains a liquid up to a height H. A small hole is made in the side of the tank at a distance y below the liquid surface. The liquid emerging from the hole lands at a distance x from the tank.

CHECK THE SOLUTION.
(a, b, c)
The velocity of efflux = v = 
.
The emerging liquid moves as a projectile and reaches the ground in time t, where,
H – y = 
gt 2
or t = 
x = vt = 2 
For x to be maximum, 
x max = H.
