a tin containing water at a depth of 0.5m. hole A is punched 0.1m below the surface of water and hole B at 0.4m from the surface of water. at which hole will water spurt the furthest

Answer 1

The distance water will spurt out from a hole in a container is given by the formula:

d = sqrt(2gh)

where:
d = distance water spurted
g = acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2)
h = depth of the hole from the surface of the water

For hole A:
h = 0.1m
d = sqrt(2 * 9.8 * 0.1) = sqrt(1.96) = 1.4 m

For hole B:
h = 0.4m
d = sqrt(2 * 9.8 * 0.4) = sqrt(7.84) = 2.8 m

Therefore, water will spurt the furthest from hole B at a distance of 2.8 meters.
