Question 11: moderate

A tank is filled with water to a height H. A hole is made in one of the wall at a depth D below the water surface. The distance x from the foot of the wall at which the stream of water strikes the ground is given by :

1. \[ x=2[D(H+D)]^{1/2}\]
2. \[ x=2[DH]^{1/2}\]
3. \[ x=2[D(H-D)]^{1/2}\]
4. \[ x=2[gD]^{1/2}\]
