Torricelli's law
text:
Torricelli's law, also known as Torricelli's theorem, is a theorem in fluid dynamics relating the speed of fluid flowing from an orifice to the height of fluid above the opening. The law states that the speed v of efflux of a fluid through a sharp-edged hole in the wall of the tank filled to a height h above the hole is the same as the speed that a body would acquire in falling freely from a height h, v = 2 g h where g is the acceleration due to gravity. This expression comes from equating the k
