A 10.0 m tall open water tank has a nozzle 2.0 meters from it's bottom. The nozzle has a cross sectional area of 0.016 meters squared. What is the rate of discharge from the nozzle, assuming that the water has no kinetic energy in the tank?

Velocity of discharge will be V=sqroot(2gh) where h is the water over the nozzle, so it's 8 meters.
So V= sqroot(2*9.8*8)= 12.522 m/s

So just multiply per the section of your nozzle
12.522*0.016 = 0.2 m3/s = 12 m3/min

very easy

ah and the water will arrive at 8 meters of distance from the tank.
but you will find the formula for that calculation ! :-)
