Chapter 1, Problem 1.15P
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of the rock and its weight on the moon should be identified.

Concept introduction:

The mass (m) of an object will remain the same irrespective of its location whereas weight of the object will change with location.

The mathematical expression of weight is given as:

  W = m×g -----(1)

Where, m = mass

g = acceleration due to gravity

W = weight of an object

A firefighter is using a large water tank to supply water for extinguishing a fire. The tank has a small hole at the bottom, and water is leaking out due to gravity. The hole is located 2.5 meters below the water surface inside the tank. a. Determine the speed at which the water exits the hole. Assume there is no air resistance and that the water flow is ideal (neglect viscosity and turbulence). b. If the hole has a diameter of 2 cm, calculate the flow rate (discharge rate) in liters per second.
