A closed and elevated vertical cylindrical tank with diameter 2.10 m contains water to a depth of 0.500 m . A worker accidently pokes a circular hole with diameter 0.0170 m in the bottom of the tank. As the water drains from the tank, compressed air above the water in the tank maintains a gauge pressure of 5.00×103 Pa at the surface of the water. Ignore any effects of viscosity.
A)Just after the hole is made, what is the speed of the water as it emerges from the hole? (v=____)
B)What is the ratio of this speed to the efflux speed if the top of the tank is open to the air? (v/vopen=________)
C)How much time does it take for all the water to drain from the tank? (t=_______)
D)What is the ratio of this time to the time it takes for the tank to drain if the top of the tank is open to the air? (t/topen=_______)

A 4.0 µF capacitor and a 5.0 µF capacitor are connected in series across a 1.5 kV potential difference. The charged capacitors are then disconnected from the source and connected to each other with terminals of like sign together. Find the charge on each capacitor (in mC) and the voltage across each capacitor (in V). (Due to the nature of this problem, do not use rounded intermediate values in your calculations—including answers submitted in WebAssign.)

Two large, thin, metal plates of 0.5mx0.5m face each other. They are spaced 2cm apart and have equal but opposite charges on their inner surfaces.
a) if the magnitude E of the electric field between the plates is 700 N/C what is the magnitude of the charge on each plate?
b) Integrate E across the gap between the plates to find the potential difference V and hence the capacitance C.
c) Recalculate C using the parallel plate capacitator formula instead.
