Siphon Exit Velocity
A siphon transfers water from a tank to a lower level. The water exits the siphon at a point 3.0 m below the water surface in the tank. If the exit tube has half the cross-sectional area of the intake tube, what is the exit speed of the water? (Assume the velocity of water entering the tube is not negligible. Take $$g = 10$$ m/s².)
A
7.7 m/s
B
7.1 m/s
C
8.9 m/s
D
6.3 m/s
