Question:medium

A tank contains 140 cm height of water at the bottom and an oil of density \(900\,kg\,m^{-3}\) to a height of 200 cm above water. If the liquids are immiscible, then the initial velocity of efflux of water through a small opening at the bottom of the tank is:

Show Hint

For layered liquids: \[ h_{eq} = \sum \frac{\rho_i}{\rho_w}h_i. \] Convert every liquid column into equivalent water head.
