A tank of water 1.5 m deep is open to the atmosphere (101.3 kPa). A small hole at the bottom discharges water as a jet. Using Torricelli's theorem, calculate the speed of the water jet. Then, if the jet strikes a vertical plate placed 0.8 m below the hole, what pressure is exerted on the plate assuming the jet cross‑sectional area is 2.0\times10^{-4} m^2 and the water density is 1000 kg/m^3?

Answer Options

A. v=5.42 m/s; p=7.85\times10^{3} Pa
B. v=5.42 m/s; p=1.47\times10^{4} Pa
C. v=5.48 m/s; p=2.99\times10^{4} Pa
Correct Answer D. v=5.42 m/s; p=2.94\times10^{4} Pa
Correct Answer
D
Correct Option:
v=5.42 m/s; p=2.94\times10^{4} Pa
