The level of water in a tank is 5 m high. A hole of area $10{\rm{c}}{{\rm{m}}^2}$ is made in the bottom of the tank. The rate of leakage of water from the hole is

${10^{ - 2}}{{\rm{m}}^3}{{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$

${10^2}{{\rm{m}}^3}{{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$

$10{{\rm{m}}^3}{{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$

${10^{ - 2}}{{\rm{m}}^{ - 3}}{{\rm{s}}^{ - 1}}$

The level of water in a tank is 5 m high. A hole of area

10\mathrm{c}{\mathrm{m}^2}

is made in the bottom of the tank. The rate of leakage of water from the hole is

View answer and explanation

Correct option: A

{10^{ - 2}}{\mathrm{m}^3}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}

Option A (

{10^{ - 2}}{\mathrm{m}^3}{\mathrm{s}^{ - 1}}

) is correct because it calculates the rate of leakage using Torricelli's law and the area of the hole.
