Question: The pressurized tank shown has a circular cross-section 2 m in diameter. Oil is drained through a nozzle 0.08m in diameter in the side
The pressurized tank shown has a circular cross-section 2 m in diameter. Oil is drained through a nozzle 0.08m in diameter in the side of the tank. Assuming that the air pressure is maintained constant, how long does it take to lower the oil surface in the tank by 2 m? The specific weight of the oil in the tank is 0.75 t/m3 and that of mercury is 13.6 t/m3. 5 cm Mercury U B Compressed air Oil 2 m 5 m h dh 8 cm
