Theoretical velocity of the jet at Vena Contracta is determined by ________________?
Correct answer: A. (2 gh)1/2
- A. (2 gh)1/2
- B. 2(gh)1/2
- C. 2g (h)1/2
- D. 2gh
Explanation
Using Torricelli’s theorem, the theoretical jet velocity under a head h is v = √(2gh). This is the ideal velocity before allowing for losses or the coefficient of velocity.
