Answer:
104.5 x 10³ N
Explanation:
If v be the velocity of water at the point of puncture
v₂ = √2gh
= √ 2 x 9.8 x .45
= 3 m/s
We shall apply Bernoulli's theorem to solve the problem. Water becomes stagnant (v₁ =0) inside the pipe as water accumulates and pressure( P₁) is increased . We water comes out , it is at atmospheric pressure (P₂) and its velocity (v₂) increases
For horizontal flow of water
P₁ - P₂ = 1/2 ρv₂²
P₂ atmospheric pressure
P₁ - 100 x 10³ = 1/2 ρv₂²
P₁ = 100 x 10³ + .5 x 10³x 9
= 104.5 x 10³ N
