Water jet from a tank
Change the water head and follow the jet from a small hole.
What to notice
The jet speed depends on head. A larger opening increases flow rate without changing ideal exit speed.
Key relation
vout = √(2gh)
Try this
Keep the head fixed and double the hole area.
What you can change
- Water head above hole: 0.5 to 3 m
- Hole area: 0.2 to 2 cm²
