If a hole is made at a height x from the ground for a cylinder holding water to a height ‘h’, the velocity of efflux is given
by toricellian theorem as v  2 g(h – x ). For streamlined liquid flow the time depends on the height at which the hole is
2x
made. Range-the horizontal distance at which the water touches the ground is given by R = vt where t  . Rate of
g
flow will obviously change at the position of the hole is altered and also when the liquid level drops.

According to toricellian theorem the velocity of efflux of a liquid is a function of the depth at which the hole is made.
This does not mean that the liquid at the same level as the hole will be moving in the container. This is going to be
against the effect of gravity in holding the liquid. The liquid on flowing out can be considered a horizontal projectile. The
time for reaching the ground depends on the height of the hole above the ground level. To have maximum range on
the ground, one has to make the hole at appropriate point. These facts are applicable for streamlined flow of non-
viscous and incompressible liquids where Bernoulli’s theorem is applicable.
