Problem 39P

While traveling on a dirt road, the bottom of a car hits a sharp rock and a small hole develops at the bottom of its gas tank. If the height of the gasoline in the tank is 40 cm, determine the initial velocity of the gasoline at the hole. Discuss how the velocity will change with time and how the flow will be affected if the lid of the tank is closed tightly.

ANSWER:

Step 1

First we have to find the initial velocity of the gasoline out when the bottom of the car hits the sharp rock on dirt road and the hole is developed in the gasoline tank because the gasoline tank is located at the bottom of car and also variation of velocity with time and the effect of tightness of the lid on flow rate are to be analyzed.
