Q1: A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to pressurize a distribution system for potable water. A completely filled and pressurized water tank was found with a small leakage (a hole 5cm in diameter) located on the sidewall of the tank, around 5 meters below the top of the tank. Please calculate the velocity of leakage water that discharges to the normal atmosphere. The dimension of the tank is 20-meter in height and 10-meter in diameter. The gauge pressure of the water tank top is 0.1M Pa. The Bernoulli equation is: P₁/pg + V₁²/2g +h₁ = P₂/pg + V₂²/2g +h₂ Gauge Pressure: 0.1 M Pa 5 meters Leakage velocity?

Q1: A water tower is an elevated structure supporting a water tank constructed at a height sufficient to
pressurize a distribution system for potable water. A completely filled and pressurized water tank was
found with a small leakage (a hole 5cm in diameter) located on the sidewall of the tank, around 5 meters
below the top of the tank. Please calculate the velocity of leakage water that discharges to the normal
atmosphere. The dimension of the tank is 20-meter in height and 10-meter in diameter. The gauge
pressure of the water tank top is 0.1M Pa. The Bernoulli equation is: P₁/pg + V₁²/2g +h₁ = P₂/pg +
V₂²/2g +h₂
