What is the velocity of the container from which liquid is coming out from hole at its bottom?

This question does not provide enough information on the relevant parameters to even attempt an answer. One would assume that if the hole is at the bottom of the container (and not on the side at the bottom) and the liquid is coming out of the hole only due to gravity that the the container would remain stationary. If there is internal pressure in the container, then the initial pressure becomes important as does the time since the water began to flow. If the hole is on the side of the container, then friction between the container and the surface it is resting on become significant. If the container is not circular in cross section, then the location of the hole along the side helps determine whether the container moves laterally or spins.


What direction do fluids flow when there is a hole in the container?

Fluids flow down or down and outward, depending on the location of the hole--or path of least resistance. Fluid will stop flowing toward a hole once the fluid level is lower than the hole. So if you marked a line 1/4th inch down from the top of a styrofoam cup, cut a hole at that line (put your finger over it temporarily), and add water to the top and remove your finger, the water will flow sideways and down until the water is below the cut hole. If you poked a hole 1/4th inch up from the bottom, the water would continue to drain to below the second cut hole.


What is a porous container?

Well porous means it has holes in it, for example spongebob. And a porous container is probally like a container that has holes in it or indents that dont make a full hole. Like if it was a cup and you put water in it it would flow out. But if it was indented that looked like a circle that can pass as porous too.

How do you make an improvised water purifier?

There are a lot of variations of this method, but I'll just cover the key concepts here. 1- What you will need: 2- Large container (the shell of the apparatus, and container for the unpurified water) 3- Small container (to catch the purified water) 4- Plastic sheet (must be large enough to cover the large container. this is the only part that cannot be improvised in the wild) Method: Place the catching container in the center of the holding container. Fill the holding container with unpurified water so as not to cause the catching container to float, and so as not to get unpurified water in the catching container. Place the plastic sheet over the top of the holding container and secure the sheet so as to make the whole thing air tight. Place a rock in the center of the plastic sheet over the catching container. Leave the set up in the sun and allow the water to evaporate. As the water evaporates it will collect on the plastic sheet and flow towards the rocks depression. Then it will drip into the catching container. The water in the catching container is pure and can be drunk. Variation: Dig a hole in the ground and use the hole as a holding container. Place the catching container in the middle of the hole and cover the hole with the plastic sheet as above. In this case you are using the moisture in the ground and don't need to fill te hole with water, although wetting the soil around the hole wouldn't hurt anything. In fact you can urinate near the hole to evaporate and reclaim the water lost in urination. ~Lilrofl

How do you make a working model of a hydroelectric dam?

Fill a container with water and place it on a raised platform. Poke a hole in it, low down on one side, so water spurts out under pressure. Hold a paddle wheel in the flow and it will turn like a turbine.


Why does water flow out of a hole in the cup when it is held still?

The water is released from underground pipes to wet the grass.


Why does a liquid flow at longer distance when a hole is made at the centre of the container?

because liquid exerts more pressure more at the bottom tan at the top


What is the homonym for leak?
