A cylinder of height one metre is filled with water and is provided with light, frictionless piston. The radius of the piston is 40 cm. A W weight of 10 kg_{wt}  is placed over the piston

If a small hole is made at the level of the centre of gravity, then what is the pressure of the water that rushes out? (g = 10 m s^{–2})

The height of the water level from the hole = 50 cm

The pressure at the hole, only due to water level is hdg

hdg =0.5 m \times 10^{3} kg m ^{-3} \times 10

 

P_{1}=5 \times 10^{3} Pa

The pressure exerted due to 10 kgwt is P_{2}

 

P_{2}=\frac{\text { Weight }}{\text { area of cross section }}

 

P_{2}=\frac{10 \times 10 N}{\frac{22}{7} \times 0.4 \times 0.4 m ^{2}}

 

P_{2}=\frac{100 \times 7}{22 \times 0.16}=198.8 Pa

The pressure with which water rushes out = P_{1} + P_{2} = 5000 + 198.8 = 5,198 Pa
