Question
Three holes, A, B and C, are made in an empty can at different levels, one over the other, as shown in the figure. They are (temporarily) closed with an adhesive tape. The can is now filled with water. What will you observe, when the tape (on all of them) is pulled out? Justify your answer.
Answer
Water will start coming out of these three holes. Water from the hole ‘A’ will go to the maximum distance because pressure is highest at bottom. Water from the hole ‘C’ will go to the least distance because of least pressure.
