Q- A siphon tube is filled with gasoline and closed at each end. One end is inserted into a gasoline tank 0.20 m below the surface of the gasoline. The outlet is placed outside the tank at a distance 0.50 m below the surface of the gasoline. The tube has an inner cross-sectional area of 4.2*10-4 m2. The density of gasoline is 680 kg/m3. Ignoring viscous effects, what is the velocity of the gasoline in the tube shortly after the tube is opened? What is the corresponding rate of flow of the gasoline?
