Water and mercury are filled in two cylindrical vessels up to same height. Both vessels have a **** in the wall near the bottom. The velocity of water and mercury coming out of the holes are v1and v2 respectively.
(a) v1 = v2.
(b) v1 =13.6v2.
(c) v1 = v2/13.6.
(d) v1 = √(13.6)v2.
The correct answer is (a) v1 = v2
EXPLANATION:
The velocity of the water v =√(2gh) which is independent of the density of the liquid.
