A dairy farmer notices that a circular water tank near the barn has become rusty and now has a hole near the base. The hole is 0.30 m below the level of the water that is in the tank. If the top of the tank is open to the atmosphere, what is the speed of the water as it leaves the hole? a. 1.7 m/s b. 3.0 m/s c. 2.4 m/s

(a) Estimate the time it would take to fill a private swimming pool with a capacity of 80,000 L using a garden hose delivering 60 L/min. (b) How long would it take to fill if you could divert a moderate size river, flowing at 5000 m3/s, into it?
(a) Convert normal blood pressure readings of 120 over 80 mm Hg to newtons per meter squared using the relationship for pressure due to the weight of a fluid (P=hg) rather than a conversion factor. (b) Discuss why blood pressures for an infant could be smaller than those for an adult. Specifically, consider the smaller height to which blood must be pumped.
