Below

Explanation:

First of all, only (1) & (3) can qualify as answers on the basis of dimensional analysis.

Apply Bernoulli's Theorem to the holes, where #2 is the lower hole:

#(P + rho g h + 1/2 rho v^2)_1 = (P + rho g h + 1/2 rho v^2)_2#

#P_1 = P_2 = P_(atm)#, and #(h_1, h_2) =(h, 0)#

#implies rho g h + 1/2 rho v_1^2 = 1/2 rho v_2^2 color(red)(implies v_2^2 - v_1^2 = 2 g h )#

If we now think what happens in time #delta t# at each hole of cross-sectional area #a#. A small volume equal to #delta V = a * v \ delta t# is emmitted from the tank.

So for that small volume:

  • #delta m = rho * a \ v \ delta t#

and it adds momentum, #delta p#, to the existing flow, where:

  • #delta p = delta m * v = rho a v \ delta t * v = rho a v^2 \ delta t #

#implies ((delta p)/( delta t))_(t to 0) equiv dot p = rho a v^2 \ #

This is significant because Newton's 2nd Law says that:

  • #sum mathbf F = mathbf dot p#

The force imbalance is:

#F_2 - F_1 = ((dp)/(dt))_2 - ((dp)/(dt))_1 = rho a (v_2^2 - v_1^2)#

#= 2 rho a g h #
