A large tank containing a mystery liquid is filled to a depth of L = 35 m. The upper surface of the liquid is exposed to the atmosphere (of density 1.2 kg/m3). A pipe of cross-sectional area Ain = 0.01 m2 is inserted in to the liquid. The other ’outlet’ end of the pipe, of smaller cross sectional area Aout = 0.005 m2, is placed outside the liquid at a height of h = 2 m below the surface of...
